Name that button!
« on: October 29, 2020, 09:13:16 am »
Here's the story: when I was (if memory serves) in my early 20s, around 1991-'92, I was in a streetside Reno casino on Virginia Street, possibly the Nevada Club.

I was looking at a bank of video poker machines — an area that was currently devoid of players — when I noticed one of the buttons had popped off.

Being the collector that I am, I decided to pocket it as a souvenir. But I remembered that casino cameras are watching every machine, so I decided I'd smoothly grab it, then hightail it out of there. In my mind, the worst-case scenario was security personnel stopping me and roughing me up!

I thought I'd tossed it at some point, but last night I found it in a box of stuff!

My question to the forum is: what kind of machine is this button from?

Thanks!

It sorta looks like a button off a Sigma.

I believe that is from a IGT Fortune 1 or Sricoma  type machine.

Thanks! I'll look those up.

Interesting how button design has changed over the years — from a standard button like all the others with humble lettering to a huge, round button.

They should have a Deal button like the KO button in Nintendo's Punch-Out!! arcade game.

I wonder how this button popped out?
