Just a few days after posting the story about the slot machine bugs, we had a Mills 7-7-7 High Top come into the shop infected with one of the little buggers! Above is a photo of the mechanism and a close-up of the bug in action!
This bug was placed on the 2nd reel, preventing one of the jackpot bars to be landed on. This machine will still line-up three bars but the odds of hitting a jackpot are really bad now. That’s probably also why we found lots of Mercury dimes from the 1940’s still inside the machine – no one could win them back once they went into the jackpot compartment!
