Not video gaming machines - just video games like PacMan. One of the biggest expenses of a casino is paying winners. So they should have entertainment machines that don't pay jackpots - you put in quarters and get a video,m and then more quarters for more of the video, and then more quarters. The only people who qualify for jackpots are the big spenders, so after you spend a set level on harmless videos the machine switches to video poker or slot games.
It would be a grand experiment to see which side is dumber - the gamblers who put up with this or the managers who seem determined to change the industry.
