The founders of the museum found the first objects all over the country: in landfills, in abandoned pioneer camps, parks, cultural centers, movie theaters, or they were bought in the park “ Prjamikowa ” on Taganka .

The first foreign slot machines were shown in 1971 in the USSR at the attraction-71 exhibition in Gorky Park . Independent models were only produced in the USSR a few years later. For example, the slot machine was Seegefecht from radio engineering operation Serpuchowski made, the engineers copied foreign slot machines, but they lacked resources and components for a perfect imitation. Instead of using a modern processor, engineers were forced to replace complicated processors with simpler ones. A total of about 90 types of gaming machines were reproduced in the USSR, some as exact copies ( product piracy ) of models produced in the West.

In the early years, all slot machines were owned by the Soyuz attraction . At the beginning of the eighties, this association was replaced by another company that only dealt with the manufacture and sale of slot machines. With the collapse of the USSR, the production of slot machines ended.

Today show more than 50 slot machines at each Ausstellungsor, including the models naval battle , Gorodki , Sniper-2 , highway , car rally , Repka , basketball , football , basketball , safari , winter hunting , Quiz , air combat , galloping , submarine , Tankodrom , Duplicate , probe , billiards , snow queen , circus , telesport , overhaul , curve , crane , fighter planes , Fortuna and others.
