Thoughts on minimum-bet machines6 July 2009
Dear Ray and Chris, Everything you say is correct, but I still think that it is safer and better for players if these machines are with, or at least near, the quarter machines. If I sit down with a dollar at a quarter reel-spinner, I know I'll get a maximum of only four spins if I don't hit something. If I sit down with a dollar at a penny slot, the maximum number of spins I can play without hitting something is 100. If I sit down with a dollar at the 25-cent minimum bet machine in the original letter, the maximum number of spins I can get without hitting something is four, just like on the quarter machine. I should have been clearer in stating my conclusion. I wasn't suggesting that we call it a quarter machine, just that it belongs with or near the quarter machines because they can only be played by people with quarter-slot bankrolls. People with penny-slot bankrolls will get wiped out in a flash unless they're very lucky.
