The number of casinos in Las Vegas with coin games continues to dwindle. In 2019, Plaza and Poker Palace removed all remaining coin games. Fremont and Main Street Station did the same after the COVID-19 closures. Eldorado removed these machines after it was sold and rebranded to Pass Casino. Jerry’s Nugget removed its last coin full pay Jacks or Better machines in 2021.
There are still five Las Vegas casinos with coin slots and video poker. About 200 to 250 of these games are still available in the market.
El Cortez
El Cortez has about 60 coin video poker games and 10 slots. Video poker titles include Deuces Wild, Double Deuces Wild, Double Double Bonus Poker, Double Bonus Poker, Bonus Poker, and Joker Poker. Denominations are quarter, half-dollar, and dollar. The slots are $1 reels. Video poker is in the back room of the casino. The slots are near the casino bar on the Fremont Street side of the property.
California
There are still a few dozen coin video poker games at California, sometimes referred to as The Cal. Most are by the Main Street entrance. There are some Double Double Bonus progressives, a Treasure Chest machine, and a few others like full pay Jacks or Better in this area. Near the hotel front desk, there are more Jacks or Better machines. The denominations are quarter and dollar.
Circus Circus and Slots A Fun
In February 2024, Circus Circus moved its coin slots to Slots A Fun. There are $0.25, $1, and $5 reels. Most of the 125 or so slot machines at Slots A Fun operate on coins now., There is a change booth like the old days.
This was one of many changes at Slot A Fun. Read more about the remodel and new concepts here.
Skyline Casino
Skyline Casino is like a time capsule. It is on Boulder Highway between Sunset and Warm Springs near Jokers Wild. Most of the machines in the rear of the casino pay with coins, though all have bill acceptors. Video poker titles include Deuces Wild, Double Deuces Wild, and Double Double Bonus. Most pay tables are at or above 99 percent. Denominations are quarter and dollar.
There are some unusual titles on the coin video poker machines at Skyline Casino. This includes Sevens Wild, Nevada Bonus Poker, and White Hot Aces. Each has a 99 percent or better paytable.
Sigma Derby at The D
There is one coin game left at The D. It is Sigma Derby, a classic horseracing game. It uses quarters for play and payouts. The D once had a retro casino on its second floor full of coin games. These machines disappeared almost 10 years ago.
