âThe Paces Races slot machine blew us away,â said Ethan Miller of Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd. âThereâs only a handful known. This one was masterfully restored, both cosmetically and mechanically, and it worked flawlessly.â When the game of odds was introduced by Pace Manufacturing in the 1930s, it became the largest money-making machine of its kind.
