Alright, I've done it again... the bandits of machinery have me curious.

I have chosen to beg, borrow or wile my way to get a million bucks to blow in the casino. You see, it's not because I think it will prove all that benefitial, or, maybe it will. Who knows, I could be lucky as lucky and win their socks off of them.

But, I've been playing with them and there's a bit of a calculation I am forming along the way... I was doing this with spare change, but ya know, my wife.. well, she thinks it's rather risky and I can see her point. We've made ourselves a decent little bit of profit, and I'm still working on it between the circus and the shop.

But, alas, if I could do some research, and grants are given to researchers. Alas, it could be the most amazing bujo I've pulled yet, to have others pay for my studying these one armed bandits!

Of course, I am willing to split any profits with those highest grant givers... but, I will leave it to the board of directors who choose to decide that.

I've gone and done it, gotten caught up in the million questing. The slots did have me wondering a few things, and while I was toying with them a few thousand at a time of which I won at least 7000 tickets... well, I sort of came ahead. Now, not every time does that happen, and it could've been beginners luck, but I don't believe anyone has truly documented a gambling streak on the slots. So, I'm prepared to do that, but I will need help to get to that million tokens...

There is more information here.

as to how I plan on documenting it. A poll to choose if we should take it all the way, or if we should take the proceeds and split them among the highest donators.

I'd love any comments, it seems a bit daunting at the moment, but truly the thing I think will be more "time consuming" is the actual gambling of it. The collecting will sort of be a challenge. However, if I've stuck with building my shop up to a million in three weeks, I think I'm in it for the long haul. Just please someone come by and talk to me on occasion during that long spree of gambling. I remember the first time I dropped a thousand tokens there I didn't think it would ever end!

That leads to another interesting question.... 1, 2, or 3 coins. I tend to prefer 3... (it's faster too!)
