This must be to keep people playing the slot machines or whatever the fuck they are. I swear people already spend hours in there - it’s kinda sad, but if they’re enjoying themselves, cool.

Wait since when does 711 have slot machines

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Move along. Nothing to see here.

They do/did here in Virginia. They're "skill games" or something. Some law changed it something because they've been turned off with a sign taped to the screen for a while now.

In some states they're legal as long as you can only win coupons for merchandise and not money.

Texas also now allows gambling, so long as it's for charity. So you're starting to see game runs being set up that give 100% of profits to a charity. Of course, that doesn't stop them from paying obscene salaries to the owners so that the "profit" is only like 1%.

They're a rigged game is what it is

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

I'd assume they would in any jurisdiction that allows it, which won't be many

Probably in Las Vegas. Even the airport has slot machines there.
