General Discussion / ANNOUNCEMENT - Museum of Gamin...
Last post by Charles Kaplan LM-0115-048 - Today at 11:21 AMThe Museum of Gaming History is making an important announcement:
The MoGH Seminar Series
The MoGH Seminar Series is a monthly online (Zoom) seminar. The meetings will be conducted on a Tuesday evening, at 9pm Eastern time, which is 6pm on the west coast. The MoGH provides the seminars that are held at the annual CCA convention. The online seminars will be similar to the convention seminars in content and duration, around 1 hour.
The first seminar will be held on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 9pm and the topic is the ChipGuide My Collection Feature. Click on the link below for more information and to register for the seminar. About 1 week before the seminar, will be sent a reminder email with a link to the zoom meeting.
The seminars are free to all, CCA membership is NOT required.
If you would like to suggest a seminar topic or speaker, it can yourself or someone else, there is a suggestion box on the registration page. I am sure that most of us have some interesting information that you could share with collectors. Don't be shy, volunteer to do a seminar. MoGH staff can help you put your presentation together and will operate the seminar. You just have to show up and speak about your topic. You can do demonstrations as well from your PC.

Last post by Joe Magiera - Dec 06, 2025, 08:42 AMQuote from: Bob Pardue CLM-0003-40 on Dec 06, 2025, 07:29 AMIf you decide to put some of them up for sale in the future, there may be interested parties here, or on thechipboard.com chat board. Thanks again. BobP
Thanks for the kind words. I definitely would like to sell them and I very much would like to do a bulk deal if anyone is interested. Though I do live in the Chicago area and am very hesitant about packing and shipping 104 pieces of glass. I'll take a look at thechipboard.com. Can FS ads be posted here? I didn't see an appropriate location. Any/all help appreciated. Thanks,
Joe

Last post by Bob Pardue CLM-0003-40 - Dec 06, 2025, 07:29 AMThat's a really nice collection. Thanks for sharing. I have a few (5) slot glass pieces and really enjoy them - especially the ones with Nevada casino logos. I know others in the CCA with extensive collections of slot glass as well. If you decide to put some of them up for sale in the future, there may be interested parties here, or on thechipboard.com chat board. Thanks again. BobP

Last post by Joe Magiera - Dec 05, 2025, 08:32 PMI am new here and thought people might be interested in seeing a bunch (104 to be exact) of Bally produced casino and slot machine glass artwork pieces from the 1960's-1970's. I searched for casino memorabilia today and didn't find anything like this, so I thought people might be interested in viewing some casino stuff they don't see every day.

Last post by Barry Sherwood R-9037 (admin) - Nov 24, 2025, 10:25 AMI got these from Phil Jensen. Didn't get a clear idea of how they worked but if you google "ibutton", you get a whole raft of information. And apparently, they are still used because they are still for sale for different applications.
I didn't spend too much time looking, but my initial search didn't reveal any images of machines using these, which is what I was hoping for.

Last post by Barry Sherwood R-9037 (admin) - Nov 20, 2025, 11:58 PMCheck these beauties out. Not for sale. I did some googling and see that these are still for sale as data recorders.
These specific devices were used to track slot play at casinos and bars.

Identification Help / Re: Casino Safe
Last post by Bob Pardue CLM-0003-40 - Nov 15, 2025, 07:44 AMIt sounds like you and your boys would enjoy being members of our club - the Casino Collectibles Association, or CCA for short. It's a national (and some international) group of about 800+ hobbyists that collect all the things you mentioned. We have an annual convention in Las Vegas in June that I think you would enjoy attending.
There are research materials out there - check out the ChipGuide website, which is part of the MoGH (Museum of Gaming History), which is part of the CCA. All non-profit educational organizations. See: https://chipguide.themogh.org
Basically, we like to collect casino-related things, and we like to learn about the history related to it. For Nevada, and Las Vegas where you are, there's LOTS of history to make your items even more interesting. If you do join the CCA, let them know I referred you (but not required).
You can see a lot (for free) on that website, but for the advanced search features, you need to be a member of the CCA. You can join right on this CCA website. Membership is just $40 a year, and if you want your boys to be Associate Members, it's just $7 per year each (but that's optional). See: https://ccgtcc.com/membership/index.aspx
I can recommend a few books if you're interested in going that way.
One final thought - you might want to post your casino safe pics on another website where "chippers" hang out. Maybe someone there could help identify it. Go to: http://www.thechipboard.com
Welcome and Good Luck!

Identification Help / Re: Casino Safe
Last post by Lisa L. - Nov 14, 2025, 02:59 PMThat is okay, thank you for your reply. There are no markings on it.
The previous owner worked in the casino industry here in Las Vegas. He collected a lot of casino memorabilia and had several things that came out of old casinos.
Anyway, thank you for the response, any suggestions on collecting, researching, or such, would be greatly appreciated, my teenage boys and I are new to this.
We currently have casino chips, tokens, demo chips, old photos, playing cards, and other such items from casinos, or casino/poker related.
Thank you. 😊
