Smashing Poker Trade Stimulators

This is a spactacular print of two law officers smashing a poker trade stimulator (probably a little perfection or similar machine) in the back room of a business. On the shelves are bags of clothes.

This is the inside of one of the longest lived bars in Reno, Nevada complete with three gooseneck slot machines in the back left corner. All three of the machines look like Watling Blue Seals.

TITLE: HIGH SOCIETY GAMBLING PARLOR (hover over images to enlarge detail)
High Society Gambling Parlor

This is an old gambling parlor, mostlikely just before or just afer prohibition. It's too elaborate and permanent to be evading the law. Behind the first gentleman on the right there is an old Caille counter trade stimulator and in the forground on the left a large craps table. The lack of any slot machines indicates the date of this image as pre-prohibition. Though the clothes on the businessmen and archetecture is indicative of a bit later.

Law enforcement smashes slot machines during Prohibition

This is the scene in some of our nightmares. During Prohibition if your business was raided by the police this is how your slot machine ended up, in a junk pile until the commissioner had time to oversee the smashing of the illegal instruments of gambling.
