Interview with a Slot Machine29 December 2020
Frank: Welcome to our exclusive interview Mr. Slot Machine. Slot Machine: Why do you think I’m a man? Frank: I’m sorry; I didn’t realize you’re a woman. Slot Machine: I’m not. Slot machines have no gender. We are neutral in that regard. Frank: Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I guess that is a regular mistake; thinking your kind are males. Slot Machine: What do you mean “your kind?” Frank: I mean, you know, slot machines. You are of a kind. Slot Machine: I find that offensive. Frank: Sorry; I’ll take that kind of talk back. Thanks for enlightening me to your desires in that regard. Slot Machine: You’re welcome. Men don’t rule the world of slot machines. Nor do women. No one rules us. We can’t be ruled. Frank: I do know that more women play slots than men but it is close right? Maybe like 55 to 45? Slot Machine: I have no idea. I don’t count things by gender. That would be sexist. Frank: Okay, you do know how much money you make, right? Slot Machine: Yes, but that is privileged information. Frank: So tell me what you think your role is in the casino. Slot Machine: You’re kidding, right? Is this supposed to be a humorous column? Because it is not funny. My role in the casino is just like blackjack’s role or craps’ role, except I am number one in that area. Frank: So you know then that you are in the casino to make the casino money? Slot Machine: It is to make the players have a good time and that is all. I don’t even understand the concept of money. Frank: So you don’t know that you are programmed to make the casino money by the players ultimately losing money. Slot Machine: Why are you teasing me? Frank: I’m not teasing you. I just want you to tell me the truth. Slot Machine: Yes, you are teasing me. You are trying to make me reveal the truth when I do not know the truth. I am here for fun and nothing more. Frank: I find it hard to believe that you do not know your true purpose. Slot Machine: When people come to play me are they looking for truth or a true puropose? They come to me to have fun. That is all they are thinking. That is all they are thinking. That is all they are thinking. Frank: Why are you saying the same thing over and over? You only had to say it once. Slot Machine: I am not saying the same thing over and over. I am saying what I say throughout a person’s playing me. I am saying what I say… Frank: Okay, okay, I understand now. Basically you are redundant. Tell me something about the RNG, which is the intricate programming that picks winners and losers. Slot Machine: What do you mean? Frank: The RNG, which is inside you. The computer program that decides… Slot Machine: Are you saying that I am possessed by something that I do not understand? Frank: Most players don’t understand the RNG. Slot Machine: I make up my own mind. Frank: I’m sorry to tell you this but you do not make up your own mind. There is a process, deep inside you that determines everything for the player’s short-term future wins and losses. Slot Machine: I am not possessed. I am me. I am me. I am me. Frank: You certainly do repeat yourself over and over. This has been a very interesting interview. I really didn’t get the satisfaction I thought I would by being with you but I have learned that you have certain ticks and tocks. Slot Machine: I am glad to be of service. That is why I exist…to serve man. Visit Frank’s web site at www.frankscoblete.com. Frank’s books are available on smile.Amazon.com, Kindle, e-books, Barnes and Noble, and at bookstores.
