I was at a convention in Las Vegas a couple weeks ago. While walking the strip at night I stopped at the Sahara for the dinner buffet. As I walked through the casino I spotted two I Love Lucy slot machines. I'm not much of a gambler, but I plunked down $10 and gave it a try. The progressive jackpot was around $865,000 and although I don't have that kind of luck, I thought playing an ILL machine would be a lucky omen.

The cool part is the theme song plays while the reels are spinning. I won some small change a couple of times, and then I hit some kind of bonus round. There's large dice that spin while the machine plays the audio to the Vitameatavagamin routine. I won 30 credits, which were eventually re-deposited back into the machine.

I lost the whole 10 bucks, but it was a fun playing. The next time you get to Vegas stop by the Sahara and try your luck. Maybe you'll be the big winner!!

Those sound really cool. My parents saw some ILL slot machines in either Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods Casinos too (I forgot which one).

Sweet. I wonder if they have them in Kansas City...they have I Dream of Jeannie and the Munsters.

I'm gonna end up in Vegas sometime though because I must play the Family Feud slots at the MGM.
