I USED to play - REPEAT- used to play slot machines at Skycity Casino
NZ and lost count of the number of times the machines short changed by
a coin ($2) when cashing out - I guess they don't expect most people
to cash out with coins and count them as well. They usually excused
themselves by blaming the machine mechanisms or whatever, whenever I
bothered to complain. Pretty damn piss poor to have such shoddily
maintained machines especially considering the easy & huge profits
they make from them.
