Games in my Game Room. It's a work in progress (the room, that is), but no complaining here.

I would like to come over and help you sort those boxes. Large on the bottom and smaller as we go up.

I would normally agree with you. Unfortunately a bigger board game box does not mean heavier. Whoowasit is one of the biggest boxes on my shelf and is mostly air. The best strategy with board game stacking is putting similarly sized boxes on top of each other, then weight is largely unimportant. I don't do so hot at that either haha.I would like to come over and help you sort those boxes. Large on the bottom and smaller as we go up.

This little device is called a TITO. (Ticket In Ticket Out) It works on most models in the last 25 years. It allows you to print cash out tickets which can be use in your other machines. (each machine needs one of these devices) You can add credits to the machine via your tablet or phone, you can screen/button lock the machines and mute the sound too.

Aside from Catan (never played) and Risk (have not played in like 20 years) I can honestly say that I have never even heard of any of these. That being said, judging a game by its box I would probably like quite a few of these.

My opinion of course, but hands down the best game in the picture is Ticket to Ride. I think the European edition is best. A lot more elements to the game. If you have never played it I would highly recommend it.
Board games are great, and perfect place to play them is on the poker table. Haven't bought any new games in a while, but we've got Carcassone, Dominion, Alhambra, a few others. I think most of them were in contention for the Spiel des Jahres in their respective years.

Been working on refurbishing this Bally Alpha 1 machine over the last few weeks. When you first get them, they usually smell like cigarettes and are full of dirt/dust. This one had a terrible finish on the cabinet. Some bamboo like design. (n) :thumbsdown:
After stripping the insides down to a bare cabinet, decreasing the nicotine tar from everything, cleaning every component, cable, etc. by hand, polishing the chrome, installing all new locks and buttons, it came out pretty nice. This one is a keeper.
I highly recommend this stuff for cleaning any electrical components. Be sure to use it outdoors or in a well ventilated garage. Wear eye protection too. You don't want this stuff getting in your eyes.
You can soak down the component and the dirt and grime just drip away. I'd let the components fully dry overnight.

Love me some Animal Upon Animal. I think I've purchased like 3 copies of the game (one being the mini one) for gifts.

Are you able to switch between games on a machine, or can they only have one installed at a time?
OP
OP
Only one game installed at a time. The newer Alpha 2 machines, it takes about 10 mins to swap games. On that Alpha 1 T32 that I have (Money Talk now Hot Spin), in additional to installing the new game, you also have to change out the reel strips, top sign, and belly sign. (and change the color of the LEDs with a jumper if needed) Probably about 25-30 mins for those.

Thanks. I would love to have a machine or 2 when I get a proper space for them. Are yours set up to take cash, or is all crediting done from the ipad? Well it read the tickets it prints?
OP
OP
The machines I have now will all print tickets and take tickets. All the machines need one of these.

Adding credits can be done with cash, but I just use tickets now. I did to use the app for a while to add credits but once you have enough tickets, you can just re-use them since there is no real validation system in place to cancel them. Print a $100 ticket, put it back in the machine, cash out, now you have two. (one in the cash box). Do that for a bit and you'll have stacks of $100s tickets.
I plan to activate the player card system for tracking game play later on.
