I had the joy of meeting up with some friends in Vegas. It was great hanging out with friends.
But as we walked around – we were a little baffled as to why people would sit in front of slot machines – like drones just pressing buttons. It was pretty amazing to just watch the expressions on their face as they sit there pressing buttons – over and over.
We all need a thrill. Some of us run around and surf or go mountain biking. Some of us sit at the slot machines for our thrills – nothing against those that sit at slot machines. We just find our thrills in different ways.
People do need thrills don’t they? Everyone looks forward to something at least. I don’t think slot machines are the best place for anyone to find thrills though. That’s so sad.
Paul, I was surprised too, but if you spend anytime watching someone one a slot machine for hours – you’ll see it. The thrill comes with lights and sounds and the clinkity clank of winning. It was just something that I had observed so I wrote about it.
