I used a poker machine once. Put in $5//10 came out on top by $5/10. Never touched one again. Drive them all into the desert and drop a bomb on them, IMO.

I did a similar thing on my first visit to Vegas. I put a quarter into a slot machine because I was a tourist. I won $25 and cashed out straight away.

The casino still got that money back though, I spent it on the New York New York rollercoaster.
