Game Rooms are
Often Dark and Illegal
It is an old casino
trick to keep people in the dark when
they are playing slot machines and
gambling at their establishments. There
are no windows and oxygen is pumped in
so that the players feel like it is
still day or night and have no concept
of time spent. This is an old trick to
get more money out of their players and
although everyone realizes this is what
is going on, it still doesn’t stop you
from spending way too much time in
there.
But in some places,
game rooms are kept dark for another
reason. They are dimly lit, and many
times their windows are blacked out –
but sometimes it is because they don’t
want their local police to see what it
is they are doing in there. This is
quite common in many of your smaller
towns outside of places like Las Vegas as they are
normally running without any kind of a
slot machine license.
Many times even law
enforcement personnel can’t get into
these clubs as you have to know someone
to gain entrance. You get to the door
and there is some guy there asking you
for references – or someone in the room
has to know you. Only then can you gain
access to a very small and dark room
that has sometimes as many as 50 slot
machines, many times even more.
There is even an
automated teller machine inside for
those players that forgot to bring
enough money, which would make you think
that it is a viable and legal business.
But as many people in these local towns
that offer them know – most likely it is
some form of the Mafia that is offering
these slot machine services to their
clients.
