   @platypus I'm automatically attracted to mechanical things. The noises and little vibrations that tell you something is happening on a very primal, sensual level. Digital is just too silent, opaque. The computer generated visuals are confined to a 2D surface and obviously fake. It's less human in a way.
   
   Slot machines are especially designed to keep stimulating your senses to keep you losing money but the digital ones would feel like a pale replica in comparison.

     I’m sure there might be some that would get me but a thing that’s fascinated me in Vegas was how turned off I felt by every video gambling machine I approached. They hurt my eyes. I slipped off them mentally.

     I think I’d be VERY susceptible to an old school analog slot machine. But video slots, my brain squips.

     I wonder if it’s years of tech and phone and the kinds of video games I find rewarding.
