Slot machines are not just for casinos and cruise ships anymore! That was news to me. I knew you could purchase pinball machines or arcade-style video games for home use, but I had no idea that slot machines were also available.
Strangely enough, I learned this on my most recent trip to pick up Mr. College Student for spring break. Before I cross the bridge into Philadelphia, I pass through a now-familiar retail corridor that includes a Lamborghini dealership, Dunkin' Donuts, a convenience store, several gas stations (last chance to get gas you don't have to pump yourself!) and a locally-famous Italian restaurant.
But last time I drove down that highway, I saw something I hadn't noticed before. On the side of the road, next to a no-name gas station, an unmarked truck was parked with its tailgate open. Inside were glittering slot machines of all kinds. A nearby sign advertised, "Slot machines for sale!"
I'll never buy one. But if I hadn't been in a hurry to get to Philly and back again in time to meet Mr. Third Grader at the school-bus stop, I just might have stopped to take a look. Maybe Mr. College Student would consider decorating his dorm room in Vegas Retro.
