Where Does the Money Come From?
Published Dec 23, 2004
I was on vacation in Las Vegas, playing the slot machines.
It was my first time in a casino, and I wasn't sure how any of the machines operated.
"Excuse me." I said to a casino employee. "How does this work?"
The worker showed me how to insert a bill, hit the spin button, and operate the release handle.
"And where does the money come out?" I asked.
He smiled and motioned to a far wall before saying, "Usually at the ATM."
