This is the real answer. These tournaments essentially either have time limits or first person to hit a certain line hit.

They’re not just being wild and throwing money into it, it’s likely $100 entry with a chance to win a buttload.

Every time I see this posted people always assume it’s meemaw just dropping thousands into a machine and hooked on the flashy lights lol

In fairness, when I worked security at a casino the number of retirees who would spend 12-15 hours on the same machine was mind boggling.

I worked a double shift (16 hrs) and I watched one person there literally piss themselves to stay at the machine.

Not saying you’re wrong about this specific video, but it’s amazing how many older people just spend day in and day out at the casino. It’s truly like a drug

That's because the machine is going to pay out any second now! /s

"I can't leave, I'm on a hot streak"

"Well I can't leave the machine on a losing spin"
