I'm shocked that there's an ostensibly skill based slot machine.
- owlninja 8y agoYea, where would one find a machine like this? Doesn't really seem like a slot machine to me.
- jamesough 8y agoThese are typically found in university towns in the UK.
- barbecue_sauce 8y agoAn answer below about denomination (pounds instead of dollars) implies that it's in the UK. Definitely wouldn't expect to see something like this in the states.
- dagw 8y agoI've seen several machines like this in various bars in Sweden at least.
- Timmah 8y agoThe Nevada gaming industry is lobbing heavily to legalize them. So they can target younger demographics.
- dymk 8y agoIf I could loose money because I'm just unskilled at something (but had fun) rather than just got unlucky, I'd absolutely use one of those machines.
- albertgoeswoof 8y agoIt doesn’t really work like that, eg if you play the quiz one, when you get past £3 the questions become ridiculous, like what is the size in cubic meteres of lake Victoria? 40040400303 40404940404 or 4940403030 etc So it just ends up being luck really. They also pay out a fixed amount and the difficulty rapidly increases if you keep winning.
- jamesough 8y agoYes! This is because of UK legislature. You don't need a gambling permit if the game is skill-based.
