The One-Armed Bandit

My assessment of casino slot machines is that while they can be interesting, and I can see the attraction that they might have ... I'm a child of the information age. I like my gratification instant and reliable.

I could seriously see myself sitting in a happy little corner of a lounge area in said casino with Bejeweled on a palmtop. But if they managed to combine Bejeweled and gambling, the results would be scary.

I'm pretty sure the Oregon state lottery has combined these things.

I can just see it slot machine style... $0.25 a move, $0.01 back for each successful move, with bonuses above the cost of playing depending on random factors and skill.

The $0.01 back part per move is crucial.
