Slot Manufacturer Profile: AC Coin & Slot  (Part 2)

The company focuses on five-reel fruit machines. Nowadays, AC Coin & Slot is a major distribution outlet for IGT devices in the Caribbean, as well as in Atlantic City, which gave the company its name and background.

You might be surprised to know that many of the popular licensed slot machines sporting an IGT label were designed and produced in part by AC Coin. Bewitched was one of the first participation fruit machine titles to come from the partnership, based around the much-loved 1960s TV show about a spunky witch and her domestic life. Other popular licensed titles from AC Coin & Slot are I Spy and The Honeymooners. The company got back to its Atlantic City routes with a Miss America slot game, based on the now-ubiquitous beauty contest that started out on the boardwalk of that quintessential New Jersey tourist town.

Actual slot game devices are not all that AC Coin & Slot create, however. The company has expanded, and is now a major go-to source for slot machine signage: animatronics, displays, murals, and super-graphics. They also produce ergonomic seating for sit-down slots, ensuring that you have a comfy gambling spell. AC Coin also distributes casino supplies of all types and usages. Although it has been overshadowed by the tremendous brand-recognition and success of its partner company, IGT, AC Coin is a success story unto itself. You may not know it at the time, but odds are that you have played and enjoyed many an AC Coin & Slot machine!
