I was in Vegas two weeks ago and played slots in 3 different casinos. None of them were coin/token slots any more. I really do miss being able to feed the machines with something other than a piece of paper (cash or receipt). I was really disappointed.

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

What I DON'T miss: The black muck that used to cover my fingers after handling those coins.
My wife is kind of a clean freak. She always used surgical gloves so her hands wouldn't get dirty...lol. We went to the casino for the first time in about a year, I usually play poker and she plays the slots. She was pretty mad when a paper token came out that couldn't be read by any other machine because the machine was running out of ink or whatever they use to print them. Since they cut down on money usage, there aren't as many tellers. They have those change machines. She had to stand in line for almost a half hour for $23.00.

| I hadn't thought about the drawbacks of the new system honestly but the technical side of it-as you said, the risk of running out of ink is a bit of a nightmare. I would also imagine that this would ultimately cut down on the work force required too which would be a downside for the staff and local economy.

| I don't miss the cash slots at all! I hate all the gunk on my hands, and what I really hate is when I put $20 in a nickel machine and decide quickly that I don't want to play anymore. Than I have to cash out $19 in nickels and that is a lot of nickels!
