Just got back from my first ever casino/racetrack trip (one of the few in my state). It was a good friend's 26th birthday party. I'd been to the racetrack there before, but it was years and years ago when I was a kid, before there was a casino there, and I've essentially forgotten all about it.
I keep tight control of my quasi-addictive personality these days, ever since my days of Internet bingeing. So I budgeted $40 for food and $10 for gambling, and only ended up spending $1 on video slots. Yay, me. Maybe if I'd won something I would have spent more.
The whole time I was there going, "I've heard of these machines that take quarters, free money for the casino, and allow the player to play Street Fighter. What's so wrong with having those instead of a few additional slots?" (I kid... sort of  )
One thing I realized is that MAME has a good decade-worth of games to go before we're through all the various video slots (those that can be emulated, that is, and aren't offered up client/server). Saw one of those "Joker Poker" things that Roberto keeps working on.
Overall, though, I wasn't all that impressed. Kinda want to go to Vegas now though, at least for the entertainment.
