Recent trip to Hard Rock found almost all machines now pay-off with vouchers (no coins). Some machines play the sound of coins falling into the tray, while your ticket prints out! There was an Odysey slot that I was surprised to see, as they aren't upgradable to colored money, or slot vouchers. Sat my little fannie down and got to playing that thing before they pulled it from the floor... When I went to cash out $100 of quarters, you should have seen the looks on people around me, as they heard the coins fall "You won!", and "How much?" were questions I was asked as I frantically looked for a coin cup.
That's when I realized that there were no coin cups on the floor. I had to ask security to go find me one (which I kept as a souvenir). To coin cup collectors, I say "grab'em while you can". They are from a bygone era.
