Based On A True Story

Did you hear this? Jacquelyn Sherman, a hurricane Katrina survivor from Opelousas, LA put $20 into a slot machine at Evangeline Downs Racetrack and Casino and became an instant millionaire! Can you believe it? Hurray for Jacquelyn! Hurray for casinos! And hurray for America! It's too good to be true, and yet, IT IS TRUE- just like Seabiscuit. And, in Seabiscuit fashion, the movie could write itself, with the title easily being plucked straight out of the story:

Coming This Summer...

This got me thinking- wouldn't it be better if there was no "game" involved with gambling? Your odds of winning would be the same, but there was no cock tease a la spinning wheels and almost getting three cherries. Just a sign that either said "Yes" or "No". You put in your $20, and it says "No", you lose. You put in your $20 an it says "Yes", you win. Better yet, no sign. Just a slot where money comes out, but only if you win.
