You do realize that Magic City's artwork is Public Domain? It was never
copyrighted when it was published in 1967, so entered Public Domain
automatically as soon as the first machine was sold.

I find it amusing that the licence holders for William and Bally
(Scientific Games if I am not mistaken) keep pretending that they own
the copyright and folks are thus obligated to pay them for artwork that
is clearly Public Domain.
Show me the copyright notice on Magic City and I will apologize.
Note that Williams did start copyrighting their work in the early 70s
and that work is protected and licence fees (if the copyright holder so
desires) MUST be paid for the right to reproduce. However you can't take
something out of public domain - once it has entered it is free forever
afterwards.
The law is the law!
