Jennings 5 Cent Slot Machine Hotel New Frontier Star Chief Light Up

Here is another piece of long gone HISTORY of Las Vegas, Nevada. Here is a Jennings New Frontier Hotel Red Light Up 5 cent Slot Machine. Original from the Casino, has the frontload jackpot, Indian, Approximately 27.5" x 18" x 18 and this is another one of Bob Levy's collection, from Pennsauken, NJ.

This Casino was built April 4, 1955, located at 3120 South Las Vegas Blvd, Paradise, Nevada. Unfortunately, another casino that was involved with the Teamsters in the 1960's and really ended up with an unfavorable reputation.

On the bright side, it was the first Hotel to book Elvis Presley in 1956. It is not surprisingly that the size of the casino, plus they own 3 other smaller casinos. It is no wonder the mechanisms got swapped out. Most casinos kept a dozen or so extra mechanism's on hand. This is another slot machine that has numbers on the mechanism (796536), the ticket inside the machine (195191) and the instructions dated 10/48 and has the same number on the cabinet.

It also has the original back door. If you will notice there is a (HOLE) cut in the base where the cash can goes, was done by the casinos. This is why many did not have their original cash cans, locks & keys. This is a RARE find.

Almost like new condition, compared to others. We are not a collector of these antique slot machines. We considered them as an investment and props around our showroom.

They have been in our possession for 30 years. They have NOT been on the circuit, like Chicago show and other coin op shows. We are NOT one of the West Coast retail stores. These machines were either on display in our warehouse or in our home. To be honest we have no interest in the slot machines anymore.

It is time to retire and we would like to sell these machines off within the next 12/14 months, or so. From members residing in any of these states will be cancelled.
