Isi artikel
SOMETIMES the old games are the best. Take, for instance, the “reward-paying punching bag”, one of the earliest attempts at machine-based gambling. For a nickel a punch, punters could pound out their frustrations. If they hit hard enough to move a pointer to the right spot on the dial, they won a prize. Or there was the “manila”, in which hopefuls could win a prize by shooting a nickel from a pistol into a slot. These days most casinos will not even let you smoke, much less punch or shoot your way to a prize.
