June 2009

After several months, it was finally here.

The unveiling of the most expensive, most elegant and newest high-end slot parlor was about to occur. All the latest machines with denominations from $5 up to $100 stood gleaming under tasteful lighting, facing the plushest seats money could buy.

Tuxedoed waiters and waitresses stood attentively on the luxurious carpet, cocktail trays in hand, awaiting their first orders. Imported Italian marble wall encased the entire room, which was elevated from the casino floor by brass steps. A bright red ribbon stretched across the entrance.
