MEAL book slot machines are employee entry systems that keep a record of the coins inserted, signature, and date of each employee’s activity. These machines are often low-level and upright and are required to record employee activity for gaming commissions. A MEAL book slot machine can record the number of reels and paylines and may have a stool for players to sit on. This type of slot machine also keeps a record of the number of coins that each player has inserted into the hopper.
