For anyone's DVR that might be interested, the "Planet Green" channel (a Discovery channel network) is re-airing a show called, "Jackpot!: The Real Story of Slot Machines" this Sunday (4/3) at 9am Eastern.

Quote
Meet experts, collectors, manufacturers, fanatics, big winners and losers whose lives have changed forever by a simple pull of the lever. Learn why we are so captivated by the possibility of "hitting the big one" for the price of a little pocket change.

From what I've read, the show is just over 10 years old (pre-TITO), but may be of interest because of that, even if the information is a little outdated.

I've read that Planet Green can be found on channel 194 on DISH network.  I imagine it would only be found on the digital tiers of cable TV providers.  "Check your local listings."

It's listed here at 9am ET on 4/3/2011.

Methinks we've been spammed.

It's not yet open.



A word to the wise isn't necessary, it's the stupid ones that need advice.

The spammer has been zapped.

I didn't get to watch the show -- perhaps someday it'll be on a channel I actually get, but I'm not counting on that.

It was like watching one of the old Travel Channel programs. 

Nothing we all don't already know, really.  You didn't miss anything earth shattering.

But it was another Vegas fix, so it was worth the 44 minutes to watch (God, I love DVR!).  We enjoyed it.

Cheers,
