The Mills Vest Pocket bell was introduced in 1938 and was in production into the '50s. It measures only 8' x 7' x 8' and weighs 15 pounds. The Vest Pocket Bell works with a push-pull slot--it has no handle. It is fully automatic and pays out like a Mystery bell, however it has no jackpot (at introduction).
The reels are covered when the machine is not in operation. The award card flips over to conceal the reels (from law enforcement, supposedly). The payout cup was also concealed by a cover.

Mills Vest Pocket Slot Machine
The Mills Vest Pocket is a fully automatic bell paying the same odds as a Mystery bell, that is, 3-5-10-14-18-20. This machine is a Model 420, so it does not have a Jackpot. No model payed a Jackpot in cash, but recorded the hit on a meter with the payout being over the counter. Generally $2.50 was awarded. Some award cards showed the value of a Jackpot at 70, which included 20 coins from the machine.
The payout tube holds 40 coins. This is less than half of a full-sized bell. My Pace machine holds 90 coins in its payout tube. I have played the VP for extended periods and have not yet drained the payout tube in normal play. Even paying larger awards back to back, the machine recovers rapidly enough to pay correctly.
The VP is a 10-stop machine. Presented here are payout statistics.
