There. Now my sentiments exactly.

Oh, I understand them fine. It's about the purest way for a gambler to get that shot of adrenaline they're addicted to, without any of that bothersome game-playing or decision-making. Put in coin, push button, get adrenaline fix, repeat until satiated or broke. Same reason so many people play the same numbers every week (or Quick Picks) when they play the lottery.
What I don't understand is a) crowing about a new machine when near as I can tell there have been exactly zero innovations in the industry for a solid decade (not that there needs to be; see Fix, Gambling, Pure), and b) formulating an opinion on a machine based on how loose it is, which is almost entirely an operator-settable option.
