Dartboards.
Dartboards are usually made of sisal fibers or boar bristles. Low quality boards are sometimes made of coiled paper. A regulation board is 18 inches in diameter and is divided into 20 sections. Each section is lined with thin metal wire, or a thin band of sheet metal separates the sections. The numbers indicating the various scoring sections of the board are normally made of wire, especially on tournament quality boards, but may be printed directly on the board instead.

The dartboard itself may have its origins in the cross section of a tree. An old name for a dartboard is a 'butt', and from this, folk etymology infers that the bottoms of wine barrels were the original dartboards, this word in fact comes from the French word butte, meaning target. Various designs of dartboards have been used, and regional variations remain in parts of Staffordshire, Manchester and Yorkshire. In particular, the Yorkshire and Perrigo Manchester boards differ from the standard board in that they have a single, inner bull and no treble ring.

Slot Machines.
A Slot Machine, fruit machine or poker machine is a certain type of casino game. Traditional Slot Machines are coin operated with three or more reels, which spin when a lever on the side of the machine is pulled. The Slot Machine includes a currency detector that validates the coin or money inserted to play. The Slot Machine is also known informally as a one armed bandit because of its traditional appearance and its ability to leave the gamer penniless. Slot machines typically pay off based on patterns of symbols visible on the front of the machine when it stops. Modern computer technology has resulted in many variations on the slot machine concept. Today, slot machines are the most popular gambling method in casinos and constitute about 70% of the average casino's income. Select this link to view our Gambling Santa Ornaments.
