5 Gambling Tokens ~ 1930’s Slot Machine 5¢ Nickel Size These tokens were used in the 1930’s slot machines during prohibition. The exact size and density as a nickel. They could be played in the machine and the machine would pay them out, intermixed with real nickels. This circumvented many local gaming laws because you were not necessarily playing for money. The location, such as a speakeasy, tavern or roadhouse would exchange the tokens for cash. One side of the token says, Good for Free Game. The other side says Property of Machine. That’s what made it legal. The location could argue that it was for entertainment or amusement only. The use of gambling tokens was wide spread, so each location would have a unique symbol in the center of their tokens on both sides to differentiate it from the other locations. These are all in excellent condition as found in an old slot machine that hasn’t been played since the 1930’s. Nice conversation piece to frame on the wall near your machine. The center symbol on these tokens is a capital K. You get the lot of 5 tokens. |
