I've utilized Charles Lund's book re: playing "banking slots" (e.g., Oddessey
Buccaneer Gold) to play an occassional +EV slot machine for whatever cover
it's worth. Not too many available, but it does show I play slots, and also
accrue points at 2X VP rate. It's also pretty idiot-proof and, as Franz
Josef II observed in "Amadeus" "it doesn't over-tax the royal brain" So it's
a slightly lucrative way to take a break from VP
