I don't know where I just read it, probably over at Wizard's site, but they're going to put these little red and green lights on your machine that tells the bartender if you've played enough for a drink. No more bartender discretion. Did you see that article?

Penny slots are all the rage these days. The newest machines are almost always penny slots. If you know how to pick a good machine and when to start and when to quit, you might have an edge, but in general the casino has the edge. The most a slot can legally hold in Nevada is 15%, maybe some are looser, Bob says South Point is the loosest, what's that mean, 8%?, maybe 5% on video keno?, 2% on video roulette? When you don't have an edge, the trick is to bet the minimum (often just one penny) and to slowplay and enjoy the cocktail service and whatever other freebees you can hustle. If you do 100 pulls per hour at one penny, the most it's costing you on average is 15 cents! 15 freaking cents! Did I mention 15 cents? Per hour? Plenty of casinos these days rate players by percentage hold (not $hold per hour) and time on the machine, so you'd be surprised at the kinds of offers you can get for slowplaying penny machines. Believe it or not I've even seen some casinos that will give you the top, invitation only, card for such action, after all you are playing the tightest machines for hours, and plenty of other casinos will give you the top card if you have a top card at a competing casino, so there you go - you're the "high roller" and casinos are bending over backwards for your high percentage hold action and ability to sit at a machine for hours. Here's a youtube video explaining how to "hustle" a common penny slot:
