DVR Alert: "Modern Marvels" Coin Operated II airs TONIGHT (Friday 1/21)

All-

The History Channel is re-airing an episode of Modern Marvels that they first aired in November of last year called, "Coin Operated II".

This episode has some footage from the Classic Slots room at the Eastside Cannery, some scenes from the IGT factory showing the production of slot machines, and some footage from Aria showing off their server-based gaming.

It's a really great episode for anyone into the inner-workings of slot machines and other coin-op devices.

There are a number of "Modern Marvels" episodes scheduled tonight.  Make sure to look for the episode called "Coin Operated II."  It's airing at 10pm CST (11pm EST) tonight (1/21) and repeated a few hours later at 2:01am CST (3:01am EST) early Saturday (1/22) morning.  Someone on a different forum I'm on said, "It is on my west coast feed of DirecTV at 8 p.m. (269 HISTHD)"  So it likely also repeats at 12:01am PST 1/22, for you left-coasters.

Sounds great, I will be sure to DVR it.  Those JB VP at the East Side Cannery were full pay last I saw them (9/6) and they have a card reader to boot.
