For the next thirty years Under the ownership of Circus Circus Enterprises Slots-A-Fun had some of the lowest betting minimums on the strip. In 1979 Slots-A-Fun was bought by Circus Circus Enterprises. This continued until the late 1970's when the owner was arrested and convicted for his role in the skim. During this time an elaborate skim of money from various casinos to the mob family was operated out of the casino. During the 1970's the ownership of Slot-A-Fun was connected to the Civella crime family based out of Kansas City. The Slots-A-Fun casino first opened in August of 1971 and is one of the smallest casinos operating on the Las Vegas Strip.

Those casinos that when passed on the street or mentioned in conversation often bring to mind the thought of 'is that place still around?' Two such casinos are the Slots-A-Fun and O'Sheas. In the shadows of these giants exist smaller casinos that are often overlooked by the majority of the tourist, locals, and collectors of Las Vegas memorabilia.

When most people think of modern Las Vegas the first thing that will come to their mind is the glitz and glamour of the mega-casinos, such as the Bellagio, Wynn, and Mirage, or the classic casinos that have withstood the test of time, like Caesars' Palace, Flamingo or Tropicana.
