The rare sound of clanging tokens rushing out of slot machines at casinos on the Las Vegas Strip is now a near constant at Circus Circus’ Slots A Fun casino area.

This separate casino area located next to Circus Circus’ main building has about 75 token-operated slot machines — a mix of 25 cents, $1 and $5 machines.

Circus Circus relocated all its token slot machines and bought 30 more from vendors in Las Vegas and Iowa to give Slots A Fun a revamped vintage Las Vegas feeling, said Shana Gerety, general manager of Circus Circus.

She estimates the casino now has hundreds of thousands of tokens to run these slot machines.
