Ah- no, I've noticed that as well. It's strange, isn't it?
[he glances up from where he's been eyeing a slot machine suspiciously, giving lea a little nod of acknowledgment. hello, tall clown stuck with the other tall clown...]
And I'm admittedly unfamiliar with parts of this.
[shirasu might have been looking at the machine like he was unsure what, exactly, it's supposed to be.]
[ axel is clearly trying to think of how to explain this, but luckily for shirasu, he is ... really used to dumbing down concepts for people ... sorry you're being treated like a child ]
Basically, it's a kind of game where people put munny in, and there's a chance they'll get more munny from it if the symbols match up. [ can you Hear the munny vs money difference. hopefully not. ] But like I said, most of 'em are rigged. They give ya a sense of control by making the lever pull decide when the thing stops, but truth is, it's all luck.
[mostly, anyway. he leans in to peer at the reels, there, inspecting the symbols thoughtfully.]
It doesn't seem like it should be that difficult... if your reflexes are fast enough, it should be simple to match them up. Luck shouldn't be that large a part of it.
Nah. Didn't have a whole lot of free time for stuff like that. But I had a [ um. what word to use, here. ] coworker who was really into gambling. Spend enough time with people, and you pick up a fact or two.

Oh, the slot machine? Those things are always rigged.
[ that explained... nothing ]

[he frowns at the machine, there, a hand resting on it like that might help explain what the fuck this is for.]

[ pokemon had the only good slot machines send tweet. Lea knocks on the top of one. ]
So unless you got magic luck powers, it's kind of a bust.

[he sounds a little impressed, maybe.]
Do you spend much time in places like this?
