I sometimes would hit those machines for $500 plus!! My play was covering one horse with all each race. eg: 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 for multiple quarters. A great machine if you are looking to make some profit. I am going to Harrahs in vegas mid October 2008. Does the MGM still have one? I will make a special trip to the MGM in October if so. Great blog!! Thanks, Scott Wow, I have great memories of sigma in A/C years ago. I sometimes would hit those machines for $500 plus!!

My friend Rocky and I absolutely love Sigma Derby and make it a point to stop by every time on our trips to Vegas. We're married with kids now so the spontaneous trip just isn't in the cards, but dammit, the spirit of the Sigma will never die! Thank you for letting me share in your experience.

I was in Vegas last week and I woke up early every morning while the family was still sleeping so I can sneak away and play the Sigma Derby. One morning I turned 10 dollars into 80 dollars. It was so early they had to call someone to cash in my quarters because the change booths weren't opened yet. The woman who cashed in my quarters couldn't believe I won it all on the Sigma Derby. It's so much fun to play that I don't even care if I win. They have these games in some of the arcades on the New Jersey shore boardwalks. You win tokens for prizes, not cash but it's still just as fun. I think these machines were from Atlantic City casinos. The AC casinos haven't had these games in quite some time. I hope the MGM still has this when I visit Vegas again. I had to go in the morning because it was always too crowded at night. The newer versions of these machines are more detailed. You can find video on Youtube under Japanese Horse Racing Game. You can also find a table top home version of one of these games at a British Company website called "I want one of those". Search the website under games and you will find it. They will not ship it to the United States though. Great article for all Sigma Derby lovers.

After my recent vacation to vegas it wasnt till our last night there when we found the durby. We played for 6 + hours, got waisted and acctually won a little money. The other people at the table were so fun to sit with. I fell out of my chair, spilled a couple of captin and cokes on the machine, and broke a beer bottle. Great game, are there any sigma durbys besides at the Mgm, other parts of the country? Great artical. After my recent vacation to vegas it wasnt till our last night there when we found the durby.

It makes me think of children, who, when confronted for doing something wrong, frequently point out the wrongs of other children. "What about what so-and-so did?" Does that excuse what YOU'VE done? No, it does not. Let's address what YOU'VE done. Yes, much wrong has been done under the guises of many religions. This person has chosen to rally against Scientology. He's not advocating the exculpation of other wrongs; he's simply focusing his attention on this one, and leaving the other matters for other people. Forget about what others have done; let's talk about what YOU'RE doing, Scientology.

I love this article and am a new lover of Sigma Derby. I just played it on Sunday and when an employee went to cash my quarters (an older gentleman named Frank I believe), he did tell me that they plan to replace it with a more technologically advanced version. I was NOT under the impression it would involve any fancy gaming, just a more technologically advanced MECHANICAL version. Sigma Derby is awesome! Exquizite Stratton,
