Unless you're going to be having family/friends put money into the slot, I've never figured out the draw of having a slot machine in the game room. While it's fun to "win", it doesn't seem like it would really be winning if you're just getting your own money back. Having said that, if I were going to have one in my game room I'd definitely want one that has the old fashioned reels versus the newer video models where I can never tell if I'm going to actually win or not. I hate having to wait for the machine to tell me if I won or not.
