Slot machines are purchased by a diverse range of entities, primarily casinos, gaming arcades, and hospitality establishments like hotels and bars. Individual collectors and enthusiasts also form a significant market for vintage or specialized slot machines. 
The purchasing process involves considerations such as budget, machine type （new or used）, and compliance with local gambling regulations. Factors like payout percentages, brand reputation, and after-sales service influence the buying decision.
In regulated markets, buyers must ensure the machines are certified for fair play. The secondary market for used slot machines is also active, catering to smaller venues or those with limited budgets. |
