Does anyone know what the slot machine strategy is?

  Grab as many credits as you can. You can't cash out those credits, but you can gamble them and cash out any winnings. Slot machines pay out something like 60% 70% (according to the author) so you're just converting non-cash to cash with a hefty markup for the casino. The author played the low-stakes machines and cashed out any win over 10c.

    Sorry maybe dumb it down one more level for me? What's a credit? why can't you cash them out, how do you get them?
