Casino sounds


So the Sisters remember when slot machines actually held coins!  When you could almost hear the inner heart of the machine fill up and beg for one more pull to release its melodious tumble of metal into the curved bucket – sometimes over the sides onto the floor!  To then be gathered up and piled into plastic cups and trundled to the cashier’s cage for redemption.  There was some predictability then – a machine near the buffet line was often played a lot as people waited for the seating…machines at the end of aisles were said to be “looser” and you wanted to jump on a machine recently vacated to benefit from the machine’s  readiness to deliver.
But it was dirty, right?  We couldn’t imagine the “sound” of a casino being muted by PAPER jackpots.  Paper?!  Really!  More later - Believe
