About Us

Our Story

SlotCycle was founded by Jeff Jordan, Chase Easterling, and Dick Casto, who recognized the need for a fresh and innovative approach to managing the lifecycle of gaming equipment. They saw the challenges faced by sellers in turning over machines on the casino floor, as well as the difficulties for buyers in obtaining hard-to-find parts or newer models. SlotCycle offers a unique, premier marketplace that functions as a self-service online buying and selling platform, much like Amazon. Additionally, the company provides reliable and trusted augmented services that are customized to cater to the needs of both buyers and sellers, providing an exclusive white-glove treatment. With extensive product expertise and deep knowledge of slot machines, SlotCycle is the ultimate destination for all your gaming needs.
