Practice Makes Perfect.

My son loves playing in the arcade. And which kid doesn't? The fun rides, the bright lights, the joyful clamor, the colorful games - they're all very inviting to a three-year-old child. If you're a parent like me, I'm sure you pretty much get the hang of what I'm talking about.

But it seems the enticing hustle and bustle of arcades are not limited to just kids and teens. I take my son to the arcade at least once a week (think of it as a reward for a good job at school) and I've seen quite a handful of adults having the time of their lives at a practice slot machine.

These slot machines are very simple and easy to operate, and just like the real ones that you find in casinos, they rely mostly on the player's luck. Its simplicity and ease of play can be highly addictive as some people actually spend hours on these free slots. Seeing how the players enjoy the game has gotten me curious, as it seems like winning in these games actually require skill and practice. I sure would love to try it for myself sometime. If only I don't have to chase after a rowdy toddler who wants to ride every single vehicle in the arcade and hops from one game booth to another!
