Have you tried to "spend" any of the "money" they have given you? -

Pure luck. They design it so people think they are playing something, but "player" does nothing more than put in money, press button.

Even one game, if a certain symbol shows up on a dial, you go to a bonus round where you spin a dial (press a button on screen) to see how many balloons you get to pop. There are dollar amounts behind some balloons. Some how, it doesn't matter how many, or which balloons you pop, the prize total is always a nice even number: $40,$50,$60..... Totally all pre-determined.

Pure luck.

Yep. I've been paying cash for lunches, dinners, groceries, Home Depot trips for a week now, and the bar has been refilling my wallet for me. I have been spending a bunch of 10 and 5 dollar bills because usually the daytime bartender has to raid the night time bartender's bank to pay me. Yesterday I even got the last bit in ones.

Document everything. Papers, take photos, every little bit. If you're constantly being harassed and the HOA isn't helping, call the police and start filing harassment reports. Assuming they'll oblige. We had a problem neighbor our last place and needed that additional check... Of course, its started again in the new place, no HOA... And the city guy retracted... Gonna gave fun with this one.

Yep. There are 2 machines by the door. I play the one closest to the door. Yesterday a guy sat down at the machine next to me for about 2 minutes, got up and said, " well that was a quick $20". They have 4 machines total. Bartender tells me it is hard to get one at night.

The only bummer is I have to shower and change clothes when I get home to get the cigarette smell off.

same as illinois. they're actually popping up with 'video poker lounges' around here...

it's big money for the state, which illinois is looking for any way to increase revenue over actually acknowledging that there's a problem...

In my country gambling is illegal. Thank god it is.
Once I was in London. As a tourist. A starving one But I walked almost all the city, and it was the best 3 months of my life perhaps. Lovely place, great people. Anyway my brother-in-law took me to some place like a casino. We had 20£. It was a hell of a money for me on that trip. We started playing. In a short time we made more than 100£ maybe 200£ I'm not sure. We pull a stick, and machine is giving us millions of coins. The feeling was so amazing. We spent some time, I can't tell how much. Then get out with 0£. I have never played since. But after that day, on everyday on that trip, I could barely stop myself loosing my daily Burger King money on on of these machines

@Tcoat and @Sapphireho have both seen me gamble. I think it's as painful for them to watch as it is for me to play. Just can't wrap my head around it. After a win it's pure torture to put that money back into the machine.

We are leaving home depot and my wife says, "man that was expensive. You better go back to the dive bar.
