NormL asks if any slot machines in Las Vegas still dispense coins, or if they all print out tickets...

I live in Colorado and am planning to visit Las Vegas soon. In Central City and Black Hawk Colorado all the slots have gone from coins and tokens to vouchers...this sucks its boring! Have the Vegas Casinos done the same? Haven't been there since 1996.

The answer is "yes" and "no". Many of them now print out tickets, mostly along the Las Vegas Strip. But go into downtown, visit the older casinos, and many of them still have the coin-dispensing machines.

Slot Machine Blog reader named, "Prosper" asks if anyone knows how he can get ahold of a "PAYTRON Cashless Gaming Machine Payment system.

I found the following information about Paytron...

Paytron was equally created in 1992, when Smart Cards were just being developed. It has specialised in loyalty and cashless payment systems. Its primary objective was to devise a safe and easy payment system for slot machines. In 1994, it extended its system to the handling of all kinds of assistance for entertainment and hospitality customers. The card allowed the customers to collect prize points, get discounts, ease payments and get a statement of their expenses. In 1996, it first went online with its systems. In 1997, it extended its system to the handling of customer loyalty systems for any kind of store. In 2001, Paytron became part of DA Sistemi, a company of DA Group.
