Off the gride, on the grid again, off the grid... Texas has a strange market. Technally, those machines fall under the "Chuck E. Cheese" AWP laws. AWP = Amusement with Prize. You can't win more than 10x your bet, and you can't replay credits - everything is paid in "prizepoints" in the form of a Walmart gift card or similar. Most of the current machines are grey area or illegal and the sites get raided weekly.... and open up again across the street. Strange, strange market. I spent a week down there going around to this little shithole gamerooms and checking out the scene. They actually have machines whith a series of pictures of a chick getting naked, if you continue to win the bonus rounds.
