Slot machines require very (and I mean very) little thought. It’s brain therapy, or a mental massage if you like, to clear our mind of all our grown-up worries. No card counting, no calculations, no rules, no fuss, just pure fun and games. Here we simply roll with it, play it out as it comes, as careless as we want. And then we win (with little effort on our side, let’s admit it…) and suddenly the machine congratulates us in all sorts of cool ways like getting applause or even a bow from a character in the game, complete with horns, confetti, fireworks, or whatever the designers thought of. Well, you never see a dealer clapping you on a nice bet in a table game, and it sure is nice to feel appreciated.
