Default Slot machine takes up to 45 coins at one time

Now here you go. You could have a big payoff or go broke much more quickly.

The 45 coin machines are the standard at the Indian casinos all over So Cal. The 90 coin
machines are becoming the standard. They suck the coins away at an alarming rate. The
coins are virtual. You insert cash (mostly $100 bills) and watch the counter drop.

Of course I did fairly well in mid September 2001 when I last flew to Las Vegas. (I made
my reservations on September 10 and my flight was one of the first to leave the ground
after flying resumed the next week). I went over to Paris Las Vegas and played the fun
Austin Powers themed machines. One kept paying. it would go up and down, but generally
kept going up. I kept cashing it out whenever it hit about $500 to $1000 worth of credits
(in Nickels). They I kept playing.

Years ago slots and pinball machines were legal in Southern Maryland.
You could put as many nickels in the pinball machines as you wanted
getting the odds to go up. The old ca-chunk ca-chunk sound that they
made when paying off was music to the ears.

I remember one of those nickel, raise-the-odds, pinball machines in a bar in
Baltimore in the early 1960's. It was supposed to be illegal to receive
"payoffs" in cash-- typically a nickel for each free game won, but the house
did indeed pay off those of us "in the know" if we were discreet about it.
As an Army private earning $78/month, our big night out was to take a dollar
to the bar, order five or six 15 cent drafts, and use the remaining nickels
to nurse some success on the machine. Big time entertainment for a buck.
