It operates slot machines in locations such as bars, convenience stores, and grocery stores. It is owned by Century Gaming, a Montana-based slot route operator. For many years, United Coin was the largest slot route operator in Nevada. HistoryUnited Coin was founded in 1958.[1] Bernard Shapiro, who had owned a coin machine business in Northern California, and a small stake in the Royal Nevada casino, started the company after the Royal Nevada went out of business.[2] Advanced Patent Technology purchased the company in 1979.[3]In 1980, Advanced Patent reached an agreement to sell United Coin to Bristol Silver Mines Co. for $13 million in cash and stock.[4] Advanced Patent withdrew from the offer three months later, though, saying that United Coin was now "more desirable".[5] In 2000, United Coin's parent, now known as Alliance Gaming, agreed to sell the company for $112 million in cash plus $6 million in preferred stock to gaming developers Michael Luzich and Daniel Kehl.[6] Alliance canceled the deal a year later due to increased profits at United Coin.[7] In 2004, Century Gaming bought United Coin for $100 million cash plus $5 million in assumed debt.[8] The company sold off its operations in Northern Nevada to another slot route operator in 2013, but then returned to the region in 2015, placing machines at a chain of sports bars.[9] In July 2014, the company dropped the United Coin name and rebranded its operations in Nevada and Montana as Century Gaming Technologies.[10] References1. ^{{cite news|title=New owner to retain United Coin employees|newspaper=Las Vegas Sun|author=Liz Benston|date=July 3, 2003|url=http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2003/jul/03/new-owner-to-retain-united-coin-employees/|accessdate=2014-06-01}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Players are not just people|author=Tex Maule|newspaper=Sports Illustrated|date=April 29, 1963|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1074722/2/index.htm|accessdate=2014-06-01}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Advanced Patent's future|newspaper=New York Times|author=Robert Metz|date=September 3, 1980|url=https://global.factiva.com/redir/default.aspx?P=sa&an=NYTF000020060708dc9300cwd&cat=a&ep=ASE}} {{subscription required|via=Factiva}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Advanced Patent says Bristol Silver Mines gets option for a unit|newspaper=Wall Street Journal|date=April 4, 1980|url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/134383954/A9B4F60EAD584E2BPQ/462}} {{subscription required|via=ProQuest}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Advanced Patent says SEC seeks information on stock sales|newspaper=Dow Jones News Service|date=July 2, 1980|url=https://global.factiva.com/redir/default.aspx?P=sa&an=dj00000020011126dc72033rd&cat=a&ep=ASE}} {{subscription required|via=Factiva}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Las Vegas-based slot route operation sold for $118 million|newspaper=Las Vegas Sun|date=July 10, 2000|url=http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2000/jul/10/las-vegas-based-slot-route-operation-sold-for-118-/|accessdate=2014-06-01}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Financial turnaround prompts cancellation of slot route deal|newspaper=Las Vegas Sun|author=David Strow|date=June 26, 2001|url=http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2001/jun/26/financial-turnaround-prompts-cancellation-of-slot-/|accessdate=2014-06-01}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Shake-up under way at Alliance|newspaper=Las Vegas Sun|date=July 1, 2004|author=Kevin Rademacher|url=https://global.factiva.com/redir/default.aspx?P=sa&an=LVSN000020040709e0710002n&cat=a&ep=ASE}} {{subscription required|via=Factiva}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=Century Gaming wary of proposed new slot machine tax|newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|author=Howard Stutz|date=March 3, 2015|url=http://www.reviewjournal.com/business/casinos-gaming/century-gaming-wary-proposed-new-slot-machine-tax|accessdate=2015-03-09}} 10. ^{{cite news|title=United Coin Machine changes name to Century Gaming Technologies|newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|author=Howard Stutz|date=July 14, 2014|url=http://www.reviewjournal.com/business/casinos-gaming/united-coin-machine-changes-name-century-gaming-technologies|accessdate=2015-03-09}} External links
