Which one is different from the other?

Looks like a pair of slot machines to me. Unfortunately, while the one on the right was taken this evening in the Rhythm City Casino, the one on the left was taken a week ago in the East Kimberly HyVee. If we're going to become Vegas, where there are slot machines in the airport, gas stations, and hotels, we should at least admit it and allow land based casinos to come in and start building Egyptian pyramids and Eiffel Towers.

Or better yet, leave it on the riverboats and reservations. I'm sure Nevada or Atlantic City can help out by purchasing our 5,000 Touchplay machines.

Tell me again how Iowa legislators didn't realize what they were legalizing?

I think the worst thing about it is that it keeps your credits in the machine, exactly like a slot machine. If you had to go to the cashier or clerk to get every single win, people wouldn't get sucked in as much.

It would also probably discourage businesses.
