The two 3-die machines in the left hall next to the lobby at Disney's Boardwalk have both been converted to a $1.00 preloaded penny machine. Both of these machines are in the same location as they were before being converted. In addition to these two machines there is also a third machine near the lobby that is down the opposite hall from the other two machines. To find this machine you enter the Boardwalk resort and go down the hall to the right instead of the left where the other two machines are located. This machine cannot be seen from the lobby so you have to walk all the way down this corridor and the machine is to the right by an elevator. This machine was originally at the ESPN Club and has the same designs. The only difference is that the machine is now a $1.00 preloaded penny machine.
