"This story could very well apply to any SS machine in NV"

Ive had plenty of time to think about this and Im starting to dis-believe you now Gene. Ive played most of the SS machines in Vegas and I don't recall seeing a midget in any of them. Some of the older ones might have done but I am assured the midgets were only in there to make the strikes in the display turn round. Apparently the new machines rotate the coins by via a motor. I did see a few short skirts though - particularly in July.
