1. This is a catalogued auction, and unless otherwise announced by the
auctioneer all items will be offered per numbered lot as they are listed in
the catalog. An estimated price for each lot is offered in bold type and is to
be used as a guideline only as they do not necessarily reflect actual values.
Condition grading is offered only as a convenience to customers.
2. Hunt Auctions guarantees, for sixty (60) days, the authenticity of each
item offered at auction as set out in the written description listed in the
printed and/or online catalogue. All announcements posted online and/or
made by the auctioneer the day of the auction shall take precedent over
previous statements either implied or written. The guarantee does not extend
to descriptions of lot condition due to the subjective nature of such
evaluations. With regard to autographed materials, we strongly encourage
interested bidders to utilize the photographs available in the printed and
online catalogue to consult with autograph experts of their choice before
bidding. To be able to make an authenticity claim under this guarantee,
the original purchaser of record must: 1) notify Hunt Auctions of a dispute
within sixty days of the close of the auction; 2) provide a written letter of
rejection by an independent and recognized expert in the field; and 3) return
the lot to Hunt Auctions in the same condition as it was on the date of the
auction. If necessary, Hunt Auctions reserves the right to consult with another
respected third party authenticator to settle the dispute. The guarantee
is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of record from the auction
and may not be transferred to any third party.
3. A premium of seventeen and a half (17.5%) percent will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price.
4. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser.
In the event of any dispute among bidders, or any other issue with respect to
the highest bid or the validity of a bid, Hunt Auctions has the final discretion
and may re-offer and resell any lots or take whatever actions they deem
necessary to settle said dispute. In the event of any dispute after the sale
Hunt Auctions record of final sale shall be conclusive.
5. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid or raise which, in the
auctioneer's opinion, is not commensurate with the value of the lot being
offered or which may have a detrimental effect on the lot in question or
the auction as a whole. Reserve bids may be executed on catalogued lots on
behalf of the seller and shall be executed confidentially in a manner similar
to the execution of absentee bids.
6. Hunt Auctions reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time prior to
the auction and assumes no liability for such withdrawal.
7. Absentee and phone bids will be executed as a convenience to customers,
but the auction company will not be held responsible for any failures, or
errors or omissions in the execution of such bids. All absentee or phone bids
must be submitted within the guidelines of this auction.
8. Title of each lot passes when the auctioneer says 'SOLD.' There-after
any loss by fire, theft, breakage or any other cause is the sole responsibility of
the purchaser. If Hunt Auctions packs or transports the lot, or any portion
thereof, it is fully at the risk and responsibility of the purchaser and Hunt
Auctions shall not be liable for any loss or damage that they, or any of their
employees, may cause.
9. Unless exempted by law, the purchaser will be required to pay
local & state sales tax or any applicable compensating use tax on
the total purchase price. Deliveries outside the state may be subject to the
compensating use tax of another state. Where duty or collection is imposed
on Hunt Auctions by law, it will require payment of these taxes.
10. Invoices will be emailed within three days of the conclusion of the sale. Payment is due immediately upon receipt of invoice in the form of
cash, bank/cashier's check, money order, personal check, wire transfer (Any
wire less than $500 is subject to a $15 fee), Zelle (up to $1,000) or certified funds in US Dollars ONLY. Unless previously known to Hunt Auctions, personal checks may be held for up to 10
business days. All international winning bidders (excluding Canada) will incur a $50 handling charge. No credit/debit cards or Paypal will be accepted. All items purchased must be paid for in full before items are released to the purchaser. Hunt Auctions
reserves the right to hold merchandise until payment is qualified. Hunt Auctions
reserves the right to collect unpaid past due invoices in any manner
whatsoever including, but not limited to, charging the bidder's credit card
on file. Any bidder with an outstanding invoice beyond 30 days will have
future bidding privileges suspended. In case of unpaid past due invoices that
are overdue by (45) days or more, Hunt Auctions will charge an interest
rate based on the prime rate of interest published from time to time by The
Wall Street Journal until such payment is received. Should legal action be
required to collect unpaid balances the bidder will be responsible for related
attorney's fees and court costs and costs of collection, but in no event less
than $1,000. In addition, Hunt Auctions reserves the right to re-sell the
merchandise of any bidder whose balance due is unpaid after (45) days with
the bidder responsible for payment of the difference between the amount
of the original bid placed by the bidder plus the premium of seventeen and a half percent (17.5%) and the actual amount received by Hunt Auctions for each item,
together with any and all attorney's fees, court costs and costs of collection.

No other segment of the gaming industry has benefited more from the technology revolution than the slot machine. Once considered the ugly stepdaughter placed on the gaming floor to appease the spouses of table players, the slot machine has been transformed into the fairy princess of the gaming world. With her, she has brought a dowry of riches no one would have imagined for the casino and a few lucky players as well. Over twenty years ago the slot machine accounted for 30 percent of the casinos' profits. Today it accounts for about 70 percent. Computer technology and the ability to play with little to no gambling knowledge makes it possible to offer life-changing jackpots big enough to turn a pauper into a king.
However, the fact that it doesn't take much gambling knowledge to play means that most people don't understand the inner working of the slots -- which makes it easy to explain a loss or a win with some false logic. Like any other 'wives tales' these are passed from person to person until they become gospel. Most of these myths and misconceptions are harmless but they can add to your frustration and take away some of the enjoyment of your casino visit. Let’s take a look at a few of the most popular myths and the truth behind them.
Myth #1
Someone hit a jackpot on the machine you just left -- so you would have won that jackpot if you kept playing.
This is probably one of the most common notions about slot machine gambling -- but it's patently false. The slot machines have a computer chip inside that runs the Random Number Generator (RNG). The RNG is continuously cycling through numbers even when the machine is not being played. These numbers correspond to the stops on the wheel that display the winning or losing symbols that you see when the reels stop. When you hit the spin button or pull the handle, the RNG picks the combination at that given microsecond. If you had stayed at the machine, it is highly unlikely that you would have stopped the RNG at the exact nano-second to display that same combination of numbers. In the time it takes to talk with a friend or sip your drink the RNG has cycled through thousands of combinations.

Myth #2
You can tell the odds of winning by counting the symbols on each wheel.
Actually, you can't. The RNG generates a number for each spin. There can be hundreds of virtual stops on each wheel even though you only see a few symbols. For example, you may see 20 symbols on each wheel of a three-reel machine. You figure 20 x 20 x 20 = 8,000 combinations and your chance of hitting the jackpot is 1 in 8000. In reality, the computer chip may program 256 stops for each wheel which makes the odds 256 x 256 x 256 =16,777,216 combinations. Being able to generate millions of combinations is the reason that slots can offer large paybacks.
Myth #3
Casinos can loosen or tighten the slot machines with the flip of a switch.
In actuality, the slot machines have a computer chip in them that determines the payback percentage. These are preset at the factory. In order for a casino to change the payback, they would have to change the chip. In most jurisdictions, there is paperwork that has to be filled and submitted to the Casino Control Commission for each machine if the chip is changed. It's time-consuming and the chips are very expensive. For this reason, it is more economical to decide on the payback percentages before purchasing the machines and having the factory ship them with the proper chip.
Myth #4
A machine that has not been paying out is due to hit.
There is no way to determine if a machine is due to hit. Each spin is a random occurrence and has no bearing on what has happened previously. Don't ever play more than you should because of this misconception -- it will be devastating to your bankroll if you do.
Myth #5
Home Run Slot Machine
The temperature of the coins played will affect the way a machine pays.
Unfortunately, the machine is not affected by temperature. It doesn't matter if you play hot, cold, old or new coins. The coin slot is a mechanical device and has no feeling.
Myth #6
Igt Home Run Slot Machine
If you use your slot club card the machine will pay back less.
This may well be the most damaging myth of them all. There is no link between the card reader and the RNG, but by not using your player's card you are denying yourself valuable comps and sometimes cash back from the casino.
