"The products are the stars this year," said Brian Gamache, president and CEO of gaming-technology developer WMS Gaming.

Gamache said that the new slots feature graphics and sound that rival the X-Box. What is more, the next generation of slot machines will be able to "talk" to each other, to players and to casino executives. Gene Koprowski, UPI

They should have cocaine injecting needles that stick in the gambler's pleasure centers. When they put their credit card in, they get a little jolt. They would make billions and they would only have to give 30% to the feds to make it all legal.

Wow, so when you gamble, you gamble ALL of your money away.

You just should avoid gambling...

BTW, not everyone acts that way.

Never mind.
