The prototype self-checkout, analog mark I….

But it doesn’t give change…

2 arm bandit.

Yup. That’s exactly how I remember Vegas.

I call it Las Vergas ‘cos you’re gonna get screwed one way oranother.

[Verga is Spanish slang for the membrum virile.]

faster “service”

New design machine — skips the intermediate frustration.

They keep playing anyway.

That’s why they can afford a life size sea battle with real ships out there in the fountain.(Treasure Island Casino) Or a Volcano and fire coming out of the fountain.(The Mirage Casino)

Hey, that,s a two-armed bandit!

Wow, a slot machine that works like a gas pump.

This machine used to be employed by the Gov’t, but was let go because it only had one arm.

Brought to you by “Da Gubmint”!

That is exactly how it works.However this is the new version.The Two Armed Bandit.No gun required.

I’m glad the arms still exist here in the cartoon world. Out in reality, virtually all slot machines have buttons you push to spin the wheels. Nowhere near as much fun.

…OR, in your partisan spirit…the Bush – cause you can play it with a credit card ?

How true! How true!

Viva “Lost Wages”!….

It seemed to me people could not put their money in fast enough the machines worked well with just one arm.

leave Obama out of this

Skipping the middle man, eh?
