When I first went to Sydney on a business trip over 40 years ago, I was taken to lunch by a business contact to a RSL club which is the first time I had ever seen a poker machine.
He had immigrated from the UK and he related the story of when he had first arrived in Sydney many years earlier and was at a club when he watched an elderly woman playing the original one-armed bandits as fast as she possibly could.
His curousity finally got the better of him so he approached the lady and asked why she was playing the poker machine so fast.
She responded that the faster she played, the faster she would win.
I rest my case.
