Wow, stripped this way, it looks better than ever, the closest to an Easter Island head it's ever been. It's so weird that they put that thin mouth under the nose, while the coin spout in itself would already have provided a perfect mouth. Here is a recent post that is a great line up of the Aku Aku exterior changing over the years, showing how the A-frame got enveloped by the expansion of the Casino (not that that is gonna help you with finding any machine-in-situ photos): http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=1845&forum=1&start=15 And you really think there was a body-type stand for those? That would be pretty wild. Here a pic of a modern, post-Tiki Revival slot machine, not very creative... |
