Machines looked very good but wouldn't play. Current Status: Awaiting an order of tokens. Some lights need to be replaced and I'll probably be making a stand. I'm not sure why this machine is called 'taco slot' because there's not a single taco on it! Not even a Chalupa! There's a cartoon character octopus named 'taco' instead.

I'm not sure why this machine is called 'taco slot' because there's not a single taco on it! Not even a Chalupa! There's a cartoon character octopus named 'taco' instead. This machine is a 'skill stop' slot, meaning that you have an element of skill (yah right!) by being able to press a button to stop each reel from spinning. There's a small two way joystick on the front that starts the reels spinning. The machine is very much electronic and the reels are driven by stepper motors. The EPROM's have gaming stickers covering them.
Taco Slot Machine Value Guide
This machine most likely came from a cruise ship or a casino somewhere in Asia. It has gaming board/commission stickers on it with some type of Asian writing. Skill stops are legal in more places that non skill stops because of the element of chance. That includes the state I live in so please don't bother calling the gaming commission on me!
