Geocache Description:

As usual, the cache is not at the posted coordinates in the middle of the freeway.

A year or so ago an old acquaintance passed away, and left me a couple of his many curios. Radios, clocks, you name it, he had two of 'em: one that worked and one for parts. In the corner of his attic was one of my items: a dusty old geocaching slot machine! How odd that he'd never mentioned it, but I couldn't wait to get it home. I fed it bills all night long, yet never got much out of it. Maybe you'll have better luck?

Moral and technical obligations
  1. This slot machine uses Javascript, so it must be enabled in your browser. Refer to your arcane manuals, or ask the geek at work.
  2. I have only run this over broadband, so I don't know how slowly it will load over a phone connection. Sorry Lou.
  3. The first time you run it, it may be horribly slow. It needs to load the graphics, so please be patient.
  4. If you click and bet before the reels stop spinning, you will start an endless loop. The only way I know to fix it is to reboot the slot machine (reload the page). You will lose all of your winnings, but that's the price you pay for a twitchy finger.
  5. This slot machine is NOT to be used for gambling purposes... it's just a cheap simulation, no matter how cool it looks.
