LOTS of old EM and "stepper motor" slots in use. Some games
just don't go over well as "virtual representations". I
am not sure if it is a suspicion about the "honesty" of the
machine (e.g., a video roulette wheel vs. a real roulette
wheel) or some other aspect (nostalgia?).
I've never been that much of a fan of slots, but if it comes to playing on a
machine I'd much rather deal with an old-fashioned mechanical pinball machine
than any of the video stuff that came along later... :-)
