It takes about an hour for Morphy to rattle through 60 sales. There were 22 gambling devices and 150 other coin-operated machines for sale at the two-day event, at which 1,045 coin-op and advertising objects were auctioned to collectors at Morphy’s Las Vegas auction house and gallery near The Orleans. Regulators approved, and he had one of his first opportunities to use the license over the weekend. Morphy’s Denver, Pennsylvania, auction company became something of a novelty to Nevada gaming regulators in August, when he sought a distributor’s license to sell slot machines in the state.
Velotta/Las Vegas Review-Journal took only 60 seconds for Dan Morphy to sell an antique slot machine for $80,000 Saturday morning. Several different types of coin-operated machines, including these antique beverage machines were sold at auction by Dan Morphy of Morphy Auctions at a two-day coin-op and advertising auction in Las Vegas on Saturday, Oct.
