I never used a slug but I did cheat a game once. There is a game machine like roulette except you use a token as a ‘ball’ and drop it down a chute to time your shot as the wheel spins below it. It got extremely good at it and could hit the highest prize (100 tickets) without cheating consistently. However, I once walked up to it and noticed that an employee had left the key to the controller unit in it and the game was adjustable. I work on machine controllers for a living so it only took me less than a minute to slow that wheel way down and set the highest prize at the max of 500 tickets. It was constant massive payouts from that point on.
I don’t know if I am proud or ashamed to say that this was only a few years ago and I had my young daughters as accomplices. We milked that machine until it was out of tickets and then we hit the ticket score to take them for all of the worthless crap they had ever wished for. I think that was one of the first times in history when a parent spent $20 at a kid’s casino and actually came out with about that much in physical merchandise.
