The National Museum of Penny Slot Machines was founded in 1979, and was located on the old Birnbeck pier at Weston-Super-Mare.
Low visitor numbers prompted the museum to moves to the move popular Brighton Pier, where it was housed in the pierhead's Theatre.
it remained on the Pier until the Theatre building was demolished in the 1980s as part of the Pier's redevelopment programme, and in 1986 the museum moved to the seafront, becoming The Old Penny Palace.
