I just learned about coinless slots. This is terrible, not only for collectors, but for players, too. Gone, is the mystique of feeding coins or tokens into machines and hearing the sound of jackpots hitting the metal. Gone, is going through the coins or tokens to find a rare specimen in great condition. Lost too, is bringing home tokens from casinos as souvenirs. Now, the player has a small paper with printing that uses ink that fades after a while and easily tears. Casinos have the nerve to say that this move was necessary due to gamblers' complaints of dirty hands and having to carry heavy cups to the cashier's cage. Now, you must walk to the cage with a paper that can easily get lost or torn. How are the token collectors supposed to satisfy our needs? Soon, chips will be replaced,too.
