... about what other players like, Larry, just my own preference!

That's the ones! I play for a few minutes occasionally while waiting for a seat to play poker. No matter what the "payout", slot machines are designed to do one thing and one thing only -- take the player's money. I don't see much point in playing for an extended period of time. The longer you play, the more you lose.

>> If you're talking about what the overwhelming majority of today's

>> video slots ...

Nope, have never played one of those and don't intend to.

>> ... please tell me why you're in love with waiting 30 minutes
>> or an hour for a hopper fill in a busy casino every other time you cash out?

Never having played one, I didn't know that would happen. But, since I won't be playing one anyway, I guess I don't care if they use tokens, paper, plastic or electronic funds transfer!

>> It's a silly little thing called the real world.

There are lots of things about the "real world" I don't like.

>> And the money says the real world video slot
>> players love Ticket In Ticket Out.

Is that as opposed to the virtual players?

I know you love these machines, Larry. I just prefer real cards that I can hold in my hand and play against other players, not the house, which you can't beat over the long run no matter what the game (except maybe some very good blackjack players, as long as they don't get caught counting).
