The WMS Gaming Fistful of Dollars Slot Machine
Here’s a rather unusual piece of U.S. advertising which I have never featured here on the Archive before. It was part of the WMS Gaming campaign (slot machines) for a range of their arcade machines which tied in with A Fistful of Dollars and dates from 2004 . It’s a nice piece which comes in the style of an old, worn scroll.
It is double sided on card stock and measures approx 14.5” x 8.5”. It’s a rarely found piece of memorabilia these days and doesn’t show up very often.
Original advertising stated that, ‘The second 5-reel video based upon the classic Spaghetti Western, A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, is your classic 'good guy vs. bad guy story'. With nothing but a trusty six-shooter and Clint Eastwood by their sides, players must rid the town of local villains to earn cash. With audio and visuals from the western cult classic which inspired the slot, players become part of the movie as bullets are fired and credits are earned. The only thing that rivals the excitement of the action, is the anticipation of activating three bonuses and winning a progressive jackpot. With all this, it's a sure bet that A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS WANTED will be one of the most coveted slots on your casino floor.’
