Comments:
This unusual compact machine has neither a cointube nor payout slides.
Groetchen’s design of a rotating coin carousel on the top of the machine isbrilliant.
Star Wheels double as payout discs, using only one finger to detect winning combinations.
The payout drawer can belocked, so the police would not cite the owners for gambling.
