Thread: Deal or No Deal slot machine

  1. #1
    I have never played the Deal or No Deal slot machine, but I have seen it in various casinos.

    There is a Chuck E Cheese pizza/arcade place near me that I pass by, and looking thru the window I see a Deal or No Deal arcade game. Has anyone played the arcade version?

    My question is: are these the same games, with the difference being cash vs. tickets?

    I am wondering if this is a way to "train" kids to became casino game players?

    I can't speak to the slot because I've never played it either.

    The arcade game I have played, while killing time at Chuck E Cheese waiting for little people. It was similar to the actual game show - put in the tokens, the bags pop up, you pick one and then go through the whole routine of picking other bags and getting offers. There's a gambling aspect to it, same as the game show, but at the end of it you're getting some tickets out of the thing, same as all of the other games there.

    with the slot machine you have to get the bonus "deal or no deal symbol on the paying line before you can play

    I have both played the Deal or No Deal Slot Machine as well as played with my kids that game in an arcade for tickets and there is no difference in my book except one was for cash and the other for tickets tradable for stuffed animals, ect.

    But "Deal or No Deal" machines are not the most obvious "training wheels" for gambling youth. I my mind there is the "drop a coin and hope it slides other coins over the edge games", the spinning light around a circle which you press a button for a win game (looks a lot like roulette), the Spinning Wheel Austin Powers game -- all of which are in youth arcades for tickets wherein the "comps/payoff" are cheap toys and stuffed animals. You ask if this is a way to "train" kids, I don't know about training them, but the psychological tools, including random payoffs, chasing reward goals, used on adults are utilized to make money off kids as well. In other words, there are profits to be made at each age level so those machines do not train so much as make a profit at every age.
