They have penny slots?  I played some nickel slots but I didn't even know 
they started that low.  Of course, their brilliant scheme is to get you 
addicted on pennies so that you move up to nickels and then to quarters. 
Once you're on the quarter slots, they'll take you for everything you've 
got.  Don't you love those signs in Vegas - "We pay cash for the shirt off 
your back," er maybe it was "for your car."

Last time I was there, they had sleazy Bob Eubanks out on the street 
hawking the latest one-armed bandit:
