<p>[QUOTE="VistaCruiser69, post: 7770718, member: 107016"]Slot machines have evolved over the years. 40 years ago it would take someone a few minutes to go through, for example, $20 worth of quarters if they were playing the max per pull on a slot machine. Now, with the invention of the virtual slot machine that takes a card with prepaid funds on it, the same $20 can be played in only a matter of a minute or less. They've eliminated the time it takes you to get your coins, put them in the machine and pull the lever. All that is done is the card is inserted with the prepaid funds and you sit their pushing a button. I don't even think they have mechanical wheels anymore that spins around. It's all computerized on a color monitor. The mechanical wheels used to take a few seconds to spin and come to a stop. The computerized color monitor wheels take about 1/4th the amount of time to start and stop, compared to the mechanical wheels. They shortened the time on everything so more time can be spent taking your money. Because that's all it is, taking your money. They toss out a few bones very once in a while just to prime the crowd and throw everyone into a feeding frenzy, much like tossing a french fry out into a flock of hungry arse seagulls.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
