Just bought another machine, started by one of those "Hey, I know a guy who's got one in his garage..." conversations.
It's a 1984 CEI "Casino Poker" video slot; damn thing actually works!
I don't even like video poker, let alone anything with electronics and a video screen;
but it's a big flashy lit-up chrome machine with an "Insert Coin" slot, a payout tray, and lots of noise.
That's all it takes; it's like an addiction.

I can hear it now: "Where you gonna put another one?"

May be I'll give her Joey's 'phone number, so he can explain. Tongue Out

Turns out she loves the durn thing, I can't get her off it. She suddenly just digs video poker.
Had to go buy $100 in quarters for her, but if Momma's happy, everybody's happy yes
Now all I have to worry about is when this antique will crap out!

That's the beauty of this hobby.
When it craps out (or before) you get another machine. She's got nothing to say about it as you claim, "I know how much you enjoy the other one..."
 yes stir the pot / get cooking yes

Also gives you an excuse to buy another one now.  You can say that you never get a chance to play poker, so you had to buy your own. stir the pot / get cooking

Slot Addiction.....Do not shut off the lights.... I repeat DO NOT SHUT OFF THE LIGHTS.... They multiply in the dark.

You saw the movie Gremlins....all they had to do is follow one simple rule......   Cry Laughing

Any horror flick....do not go outside alone in the dark.... wearing only sweat pants and a tube top..... but NOOO.......

If you suddenly find yourself in a star trek episode.... tell everyone your name and for gawds sake take off the red shirt.....

Heed our warnings......

How about this?

"One for you, one for me. Two for you..."

Let us know how this works for you. I might need to try it before too long...

Oh, Baddy: did you ever see that scene where the
guy is counting out the bills from the robbery with his un-bright partner...

"One for you, & one for me;
Two for you, &  one-two for me;
Three for you, & one-two-three for me...." Smiley
