Whenever I see one I have to play it... It only sort of matters whether I win something or not.... that's just a bonus.
It's like they call out to me in the grocery store (which is where I see them mostly). Of course, when I was little I would play them at the arcade. The cool ones gave you tickets when you played, whether you grabbed something or not... then you could exchange those for even more worthless crap.
I'm thinking, over the years (around 20 or so) I've probably spent well into the thousands of dollars of my own money on these machines. Why do you think that is?
Is it the possibility of getting a poorly made, horribly immitated Mickey Mouse (or some other hideous cartoon character) fashioned together for my happiness by a 4 year old in a third-world country... or something about grabbing various tiny body parts with a giant claw, without getting arrested? What makes it so damn appealing?
I need help.
