    Actually, one time I played this for something like $60 a hand. Yes, I usually find it for pennies, but if the stars line up, I have to play. I found a play at 25-cent denom and had no idea what it was going to cost me, I just pulled a wad of bills out
    of my pocket. Fortunately, I hit it fast and it called for a W2G. I then realized it was like $60 a hand. I almost shit.

    I was just getting ready to go home and went upstairs to grab a coke. I had already cashed out my vouchers. But I saw this machine, it was calling me. "Hey Popinjay, come over here and check out what someone left on here." (probably some clueless
    moron like Jerry) I said, "OK, be right there". I put in a hundy, quickly cashed out $171. Like finding money in the parking lot. I picked it up.

    Oh I never said you couldn't dump a bunch of money into a penny machine, I'm just saying the rewards don't match the coin in. Used to be you played a dollar slug x2 or x3 and got big money. Now you coin in $4.50 and hope you hit $650? One armed
    bandit treating you like a stripper in glitter gulch these days. Thank God my parents divorced when I was little because my mother is a slot queen and had she got ahold of my dad's money, she'd have pissed it away at the indian casinos till she was flat
    broke. My brother told me she hit $10K on some Chinese type machine and he bugged her to pay off bills with it. She'd have none of that nonsense.
