I was lucky. I remember being 18 years old and putting the money for my bus ticket home into a slot machine because "it had to pay out this time". I lost and had a 5 mile walk home. I have avoided the machines ever since. Meeting a programmer of these devices some years ago and him explaining a lot of what they did re-enforced my view to stay away from them.
