Slot Manufacturer Profile: AC Coin & Slot  (Part 1)

Mac Seelig of Atlantic City founded the slot machine manufacturing company AC Coin & Slot in 1978. Seeling started the business from his New Jersey home, probably never dreaming that it would burgeon into the highly-successful and lucrative operation it has become today! AC Coin & Slot has since shifted its headquarters to the town of Pleasantville, but its roots are strong. To this day, Mac’s three sons still head up operations for the company, which is currently three hundred employees strong!

AC Coin & Slot’s rise to prominence began in 1983, with a major milestone. Seelig signed an exclusive American distribution deal with International Gaming Technology – a name that serious slot game fans undoubtedly recognize! Nowadays, IGT puts out some of the hottest casino and online slot machine titles. Before its meteoric rise to fame, however, AC Coin & Slot was a close sister of IGT.

The company expanded prolifically in the 1990s. Seelig and other slot machine company execs turned their attention to the western part of the United States, and opened offices in Las Vegas and California. The manufacturer has stations throughout the country, from Florida to New Jersey, and from Illinois to Colorado. At this time, the “Bonus Road Rally” slot game title was one of its biggest sellers, and really put the company on the map.

Today, AC Coin & Slot is best known for its stratospherically-popular Slotto games. This slot / lottery game hybrid is one of the best-loved titles in the world of online slot machines, and has spawned many spin-offs, like Popcorn Slotto.
