description: Many cherries adorn the front of this five cent, cast aluminum, slot machine, along with a cherry burst with chrome and yellow accents in the middle. information: This machine is "Named for the feature combination of two cherries plus a lemon or bell paying ten coins instead of the usual five." However, the mechanism inside this machine has been replaced, likely due to the original mechanism failing, and therefore the machine only pays five coins not ten on two cherries and a lemon. A year after this machine was introduced, a Brown Front machine was introduced, being painted brown rather than blue. |
