The Slot Tournament


What? A slot tournament. How does that work? It is a fabulous exercise in stupidity. You pay to join the tournament, they configure the machines specially, get a group of people willing to do this, and start the tournament. They encourage people to “love” their machines by hugging and talking to them. There were six machines configured for the event. Six people at a time played over a two hour period. At the end of the two hours, the top 5 scores and one wild card player would play for the grand prize. When it was your turn to play, all you had to do was push a single button over and over again. There was absolutely no skill required. Just push a single button over and over again. I had to try this! It was a lot of fun. I was briefly in 5th place. Unfortunately, 5th place did not last long.
