You may shake your head with painful memories of large dollar amounts lost, and swear on a stack of Bibles that you will never again be foolish enough to engage in a shoot-out with the One-Armed Bandit, but who are you kidding? Maybe, with just a little luck, you will be able to resist the call of the slot bet online machine for a number of weeks, perhaps even a month or two. But you know damn well that you will be back for a rematch eventually. You can not just let that Bandit win so conveniently, can you? No way.

It is just a machine, in the end, with a "brain" comprised of wires and microchips. You, having said that, are a living, breathing entity with the capacity for critical thinking and self-reflection. If humankind is to possess any hope at all in surviving the worldwide war against machines that surely will come some day, we'd better at least be able to beat the slots.
