Question,
My 3-coin Crystal 7's Glows in the Dark when first turned off in a darken room.
It will glow for about 30 minutes.

OK,
Why does this glow in the dark?  I've never noticed this with other games.
thanks

Actually, it's somewhat common. The original front frosting on any IGT glass -- like Crystal Sevens or RWB variants, for example -- will glow in the dark.

However, some members have deliberately removed the original frosting and replaced it with back frosting. Whether or not that would glow would depend on the properties of the replacement frosting.

I once had a job to do on a nuclear power plant in Seabrook, NH.
We did what we had to do and quit - I was afraid I'd come out of there glowing after work... :5-

Radium Girls.........google it.

 


At last the truth gomes out, we now know where you went wrong.   :208- :208- :208-

 :72- It was horrifying peering down into that 17' pool of crystal blue water
knowing that down there about 40 feet away shining like shimmering white diamonds -
was half-melted pure uranium rods that could pretty much wipe out every F&^%$#@ ING living thing on Earth!
And here I was making a bloody stainless steel service catwalk over it? Nuts!

After removing my 4 layers of rubberized protective covering and masking tape and
submitting my hands and feet into a metering station to check for
trace amounts and completing the laborious decontamination process,
turning in my dosimeters and gamma radiation counters...I walked over to the boss's trailer and said
"GOODBYE, and don't ever ask me to come anywhere near this area again!
I do NOT need the money THAT bad!"    :96-

Aw Bunker ya big chicken. You coulda made a fortune renting yourself out as a streetlight! :97- :97- :97-

haha! Maybe in "Red Light" district area of Montreal late at night would have been a cool gig!  :96-

Woulda taken no small amount of good Canadien whiskey to make you a RED light. Get nuked and get drunk? Sounds like a plan :89- I work in a coal fired plant, MUCH safer

You would not have believed the clearance I had to submit to when I was asked to work there.
You'd think that I was getting checked out and inspected to pass as a Federal Security Officer in the Pentagon.
Instead of background checks - I think they performed futuristic checks on me!   :96-
The U.S. government has everything they'd ever need to know about me and then some!
The "then some",  I'd rather not discuss...and I thought I had nothing to hide! lol  :72-

Yeah, nuke plants have been tight for years anyway and after 9/11 it just got worse. We've been pretty relaxed security wise forever out here. Partly because it's coal and partly because we're in an out of the way place. MiddleEasterners in Wyoming would stick out like Richard Pryor at a clan rally, but we just got issued photo IDs and card locks on the doors are coming. They've been re-running our backgrounds every couple years too

I've worked in a Nuke plant.
One of the benefits no one talks about, I was able to go home at night & read the newspaper with the lights off.
Now retired & wear glasses with the lights on . The good old days.

So what you're saying is, now that radioactive decay has set in, you miss your first "half-life."  :200- :30- :208- :208- :208-
