| The casino near us converted most of their slots to the paper receipts. I really miss the noise the money made when hitting the trays. I know they have saved a ton of money by converting over, but it feels like something is missing. Does anyone else feel the same way?

| Spam aside, yes I miss that too. There are still a good number of places around here that have cash slots, but slowly they are going the way of paper or tokens of some kind. I don't like it; I think it's too much of a ploy to get you to not take your money out of the casino again because it makes you take that extra step to get it.

| I won't play slots if they aren't cash payouts. If I wanted a slip of paper or tokens/points I would play online and not take the time to go to a real casino. I'm sure it saves money but they make more than enough on slots to let us use real money to play and for payouts up to a certain amount.

| I was sad to see them go too. It just isn't the same having these new slots. The old cash ones felt real, almost euphoric when you won. The new ones don't give out that feeling.

| I've never been much of a slots player anyway but my interest went down even further with the switch. It's just not the same without the "ka-ching" of the money pouring down.

I am in complete agreement. I can't imagine playing the one-armed bandits without the coins/tokens. I bet beside a money saving method for the casinos it is also a bit better for the customer as it would be harder to get a receipt than a bucket of coins.
Part of the appeal to me has always been the sound of the slots and that includes the coins.

There are few things that are so unpardonably neglected in our country as poker. The upper class knows very little about it. Now and then you find ambassadors who have sort of a general knowledge of the game, but the ignorance of the people is fearful. Why, I have known clergymen, good men, kind-hearted, liberal, sincere, and all that, who did not know the meaning of a "flush." It is enough to make one ashamed of the species. ~Mark Twain

| I'd prefer to have cash pouring out of the machines. My wife really feels strongly against the slips of paper. For some people, it was kind of a ritual, unwrapping rolls of coins and putting them in buckets, etc.

| I'm not really sure what its saving them, it still means that paper cost money and more than likely is not being recycled so I think its really a waste .
