Slant tops vs uprights??

#1

I have never paid any attention to the differences between slant
tops vs uprights. As a result I was never really aware which type I
was playing on. However I have recently developed shoulder pain which
is considerably lessened if my arm from at least the elbow down to
the wrist can be supported rather than be being totally unsupported
when being used. Such as during long sessions of video poker which I
am planning to do on my return to Las Vegas in January. I almost
always play FPDW, 25c.

I am sure that I am not alone with this type of shoulder pain, which
gets much worse with lots of use, especially if it is unsupported. Is
there any advantage to playing on slant tops or uprights? Or is
anyone aware of any types of machines where you can play while
resting the arm, rather than having it dangling, while you are
playing? Appreciate the help.

Slant tops. Not only can you stick your elbows up on them, you can even put
your head down and doze off for a while. Or pray. Slant tops are the
answer to your troubles. Often better pays, too. Slant tops. At a casino
near you!

And in the joyous event of a royal they make a great dance floor for
an impromptu celebration! Bartops are even better -- drop an item or
two of clothing while you're at it and you can get people to chip in
for the tip! (On this count, it's helpful to have generously consumed
the proferred libations during play.)
