Last Working Sigma Derby Machine to Relocate to Golden Gate via Fremont Street Parade

The last operational Sigma Derby machine in any casino will be relocated next month, traveling from The D Las Vegas to the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino. A parade along Fremont Street is scheduled for June 16 to mark the move of the vintage electro-mechanical horse-racing game.

Sigma Derby machines, which date back to the 1980s, have developed a devoted cult following among Las Vegas visitors and locals. The unit at The D had been the final example still in service, drawing nostalgic players who appreciate its mechanical charm and simple betting mechanics.

The relocation will bring the machine to Golden Gate, another downtown property with a long history in the city’s casino scene. Officials have not disclosed whether the machine will be placed permanently on the gaming floor or displayed as a historic artifact.

The parade, organized by the casinos, is expected to draw enthusiasts and curious onlookers to Fremont Street. The event underscores the ongoing appeal of classic casino attractions even as digital slot machines dominate modern floors.
