I feel you just lost 3k this week
Watching and listening to this made me physically sick. Poker machines should all be banned as they trap the vulnerable and profit from the misery of others
Such an amazing information and KZread hide this video
Because of the random outcome of winning, it could be your next play. That's what keeps a person glued to their slot machine. I've seen people get very protective, especially if they have been sitting for hours and they know how much money they've got invested. No way are they going to let someone win all their money by walking away if they can help it.
Addict for 20 years. Sad I cannot stop.
