But then, these old faithful machines started to let me down - eating up my precious pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. They showed no remorse what-so-ever. The honeymoon was over.
Upon seeing my friend’s sheer excitement for the slot machines, I asked her to take me on a tour and educate me as to why she found “pulling slots” so much fun.

Curiously enough, I began to have favorite slot machines. Ancient Treasures which has a magic orb feature, the bonus double Diamond machines, or how about that Event Monopoly! I went to them faithfully and felt irritation when someone had the audacity to be sitting in my chair. I actually laughed when I realized what I was feeling!
And at times it did prove profitable… winning $500 on a fifty cent turn. Wow! No wonder people shriek with excitement.
