Very similar Al, but not quite the same.  The one I play has been in the casino for about 3 years.  Maybe it's an older model than your picture.

You just put the paper money,as much as you wish,which shows on your window and start to play.Mostly the girls working there pays you out whenever you wish to stop play.After each spin the window in front of you shows your score.

Guys, what's the minimum stake on such machines? and how do you play them? buying chips, entering into a slot?

The machine I play has a range from $0.25 to $25 on any bet.  You can have a maximum of $25 on the table for any spin.  The machine has a slot to receive either a casino coupon with a dollar amount on it or it will take dollar bills of any denomination.  You play at a console with a computer screen activated by touch.  You can set your bet amount to 1 - 2 - 4 - 10 - 20 - 40 - 80 - 100 quarters.  After a call for no more bets, the ball takes about 20 seconds for the wheel to come to a stop.  The ball is shot out every 60 seconds.  You only have about 30-35 seconds to make your bets.  There's a female voice that announces the spin result and all other commands.  There are 6 stations at the table.  The marquee shows the last 7 spins only.

Everything is automated.  You never see anyone from the casino unless there's a problem.  I do notice that when my friend from Mexico leaves they sometimes come by and chech his screen to see how much he cashed out.  the  screen displays how much you deposited and how much you cashed out.  To counter this, my friend keeps $20 bills in his pocket and every now and then, he'll cash out and put in another $20 bill so they can't see how much he's winning or losing.

They have units of different sizes, which can be customized locally. Like, they can have a unit size of $1. You have two ways to put money in it. 1. u enter the local currency notes yourself and it shows in ur touchscreen panel as balance; 2. U ask the casino assistant and handover him currency notes or cash chips, and he enters the amount in ur station by using his administrative controls. Now ur balance shows like in online casino in terms of money/and units and it goes up and down with ur profits and losses. Finally, at the time of withdrawal you again call upon the assistant and he gets u ur balance from cashier.

I play at a faily small casino and they don't appreciate people taking large sums of money or even any sums of money on a regular basis.  But, I think that $25 maximum bet is pretty insignificant.

Everything,
       racetrack bets, repeat, double, sectors, neighbours and all those ways of playing which is even hard to find in online casinos.
