The state slings that shit like rock.

Yeah it's disgusting.

VLT's are addictive. Some people can get out of control with them but the same can be said for most things.

The good news is that counseling seems to help.

The bad news is that bar owners depend on them for profitability.

I once got picked up by a woman at a bar . . . only to find out she was trying to get me to support her gambling addiction.

I can't believe people win money in that. Every time(granted it is a small sample size) I put in any money in those damn things, I'll lose it in less than 5 minutes.

Gambling is very addictive. I'v won and lost tons on slots, the time just flies by in a casino. When online Poker was up I had days where I won more then I made in a year at that moment and days were I lost more then I made in a year (Had a problem with FullTilt where I couldn't actually pull the money out of the account so for all intense and purposes it was like I was playing with fake money).
