Bruce Hayden said...: Not quite sure of the rational for Ellen slots. Can't be that many rich Lesbians just waiting to play her game. Apparently IGT, my least favorite slots company is installing them at the better MGM properties. IGT is the elephant in the room in Vegas, which is why I think I am missing something. They may be SOBs to deal with, but they are the biggest in Vegas at least partly because they are the best.; 8/16/15, 3:38 PM

Peter said...: "But I think you can’t be with the person if it’s not love, if they don’t satisfy you."

Well, that should be a warning shot over the bow: if/when he ceases to be "satisfying," she'll be in court to grab her equitable share? At least that would be my interpretation, although that's probably not how she wants you to take it.

Whereas an honest courtesan would accept that the deal implies continuing loyalty, even (especially) a time comes when the thrill is gone.; 8/17/15, 8:47 AM

The main demographic of slot machines is women 45 to 65. Who watches Ellen?

This is also where there are an increased number of nostalgic slots being introduced, like Batman and the 1978 Superman.; 8/18/15, 12:01 AM
