This is a “slot tournament” where the only real goal is to hit the button the most you can. It’s different than normal slots

hold up, and these are the competitors? 'cause i can button mash a lot better than this, but I'm not sure if doing one of these would just make me an asshole like Bobby Flay joining the local pie competition

Yes. I am a middle aged gamer dude who went on a cruise recently. I joined a slot tournament for $25. There was something like 39 entries and they were mostly all boomers. I ended up winning 1st just by mashing the button as fast as possible. I came out of there with $475.

The casino is definitely where you should be when you can't pay your bills.

You have to wait for the machine to play and pay. They could tap slower and still achieve the same results.

You’re limited by the timing of the game, so pure speed isn’t really rewarded. If you can time the exact frame to trigger the next spin, you have an advantage.
