Thanks for the perspective. I read Addiction by Design a year ago or so and had formed quite a negative opinion of all slot machines. You make some good points though, and caused me to lean back towards neutral on the question of whether the world would be better off with or without slots. If I ever visit Vegas some time I'll have the opportunity to form a stronger judgement I think, but I'll hold off until then.
