Because they are a gambler????
I can see your point.
But because new machines are so boring, you might get your 'fix' from gambling for real, online on machines you used to play as a kid. It is fantasitic being able to play for fun, but what I am saying is that if people are prepared to play crap machines for real money www.willhill.com), why not machines that are fun and you have had many years of fun playing.
The technology is available and I know I would want to play the old £6, £8 machines for real online......Much better than a £50 000 jackpot on William Hill and I can play small stakes.
Or is it just me?
