$5.00 Gold Award Token

Watling Slot Machine Company

Jackpot Payoff Coin ~ 1930’s


This token is the size of a nickel. Some of Watling’s Slot machines would have a special $5.00 Award prize for the right jack pot combination. It was paid from a separate coin tube in the machine, and could be traded in at the location for $5.00 Cash. This token is in perfect condition. One side says Gold 5 Bucks Award. The other side says 5 Bucks in a horse shoe, and has the matching serial number of the machine #830. Excellent condition. It has been sitting in the gold award tube in an old machine for over 60 years!

It was an exciting event to hit the Gold Award on one of Watling’s machines. They were operated in Speakeasy’s and taverns everywhere during prohibition. Everyone in the place knew someone hit the jackpot because of the loud commotion it caused. This made players play more, so the operators liked the machines with this feature. This is a very rare token. Few are known. 2 are shown so you can see both sides. You are getting one.
