I have done it before on the 1c machines - on average, it took between 8 and 15 minutes to lose $1 betting just 1 credit (Australian machines only accept $1 coins or banknotes; NZ decided on $2 coins for some reason). Of course though, I don't ever expect to win much, the usual amount you will win on any spin will be 10 credits or less, even in free games (which may not even pay a win besides the feature trigger itself). But, when you want to waste a lot of time for next to nothing, it's not a bad way. Compared with a 'modern' arcade like a fighting game, it's all over in 2 minutes if you lose a vs. game against a friend, and even the 'arcade mode' (for example SF2, Tekken series) will only take about 10 minutes to complete if you don't lose. Of course though, if you're an arcade master and there happens to be a Pac-Man or Asteroids still around, you can be there for quite a long time.
