"You're sitting at a one-cent machine with a 10 per cent house advantage and you're betting a multiple of 10 on nine lines. That's 90 cents a spin, with an average loss of 9 cents. And let's be very conservative and assume you're busy chatting and drinking and only getting through 10 spins a minute. That's $9 a minute to the machine, with an average loss of 90 cents. Oh, there might be a few wins here and there, but the longer you play the closer your losses will be to the 10 per cent. Not much? Think again. In an hour at that rate (600 spins) your expected loss would be $54. Now multiply that by the number of hours you might sit there.
On a five-cent machine you'd lose an average of $270 per hour, on a 10-cent machine $540 per hour, and on a 20-cent machine $1080 per hour. Losses on a $1 machine don't bear thinking about. Fun, isn't it?"
