D. C. AND THE 1/4 CENT SLOT MACHINE

I was reading the Day (New London Day newspaper) and found one article quite interesting, so I thought I would share some thoughts on it with you.

David Collins, a writer for the Day, went to the Earth Casino of the Mohegan Sun Casino to try a 1/4 cent slot machine.

He goes into the Earth Casino and tries to find the 1/4 cent slot machines. He asked one of the inside security people where the 1/4 cent machines were. The security man after trying to explain where the machines were took David Colloins over to where the machines were.

Collins espected to put in a dollar ($1.00) and get 400 pulls or pops on the slot machine. To his suprise, he had to put five dollars (5.00) minimum in the machine. He supposedly put in five dollars and received 2,000 credits. After playing the machine for awhile, he decided it was as exciting as sitting in traffic. He started playing with multi-level bets and accidently gambled 500 credits ($1.25), he was back to about $3.91.

In the end, he did what all smart gamblers do, he walked away with $11.64. He claimed there was only 14 machines in that area. I hope he had fun. That is the idea.

He seemed to have a good time and been well taken care of by the casino staff. It was an interesting article. Thanks David Collins for visiting the Earth Casino at the Mohegan Sun. Is the Mohegan Sun making money on these 1/4 cent machines? Since the casino evidently gives free drinks to patrons of the 1/4 machines are they profitable? What do you think?
