Step right up, step right up, ladies and gentlemen, test your skills and test your wits against the incredible one-arm bandit, the fruit machine, the puggy, the three-eyed savings buster, yes, sirree, you sink your coins, you pull the bar, and dance with Lady Luck.

Remember that when you play a slot machine, no strategy is required.

A set number of losses is just you against the godless predetermined mind of the machine.

So step right up and take your chances. How about you, sir, right there. Why don't you step on up and try your hand at the one-arm bandit here? Oh, well, yeah. I say this looks intriguing.
