Micah eventually made his way back to the slot machines. He discovered that this time he had to pay for it. Was it activated by the collar, or what? He pulled the lever instead of thinking too hard about the ******** collar.
Two pairs rolled up, but this time, instead of spitting out four tokens, the machine gave him three. Better than none, he figured, and scooped them up.
Roll: 1/5 [Casino tokens: 61-1=60+3=63]

He has a small gold wire earring in his left ear and a star tattooed on the back of his right wrist.
Another token, another pull of the lever, another pair of numbers and three tokens. At least Micah was gaining overall. The collar felt heavy around his neck. He'd never liked having a tight neckline on his shirts, even, and this was so much worse.

The red of the numbers on the slot machine was uncomfortably blood-red. It wasn't helping Micah not think about the guy who'd been shot right in front of him. If he'd been willing to risk getting shot for bolting, the other choice must be worse, and the casino employees had dragged that woman off to ...
Micah shook his head hard and pulled the lever. A triple match this time, and five tokens came rattling out.
Roll: 3/5 [Casino tokens: 65-1=64+5=69]

Micah fed the machine another token, pulled the lever, and scooped out the tokens, almost automatically. It wasn't like he hadn't seen people die before. Before the outbreak, he hadn't been personally familiar with death, but after, he'd seen too many bodies, seen people attacked, seen people turn. That was horrible in its own right. But there was something about seeing someone get shot by another human being that made Micah's stomach turn.

Micah was starting to kind of get how people could sit in front of a machine for hours, feeding it and waiting for the coins to pour out. It was hypnotic, and if you watched the reels and didn't think about other disturbing things you could just kind of ... not think at all. But feeling himself start to zone out kind of bothered him, and after he scooped the tokens out of the tray he got off the stool and walked away from the machine. Maybe he could try a different game, even if it was rigged. Maybe he could find something else to sell.

James hesitantly approached the slot machines again - it'd been so easy earlier, after all, and kind of fun to boot! Also, it didn't require interacting with the casino staff, who were just a little too trigger happy for his tastes.
He managed to get 3 6's, which was a bit ominous and didn't do much for his mood, but he scored five more coins.
COINS: 51-1 = 50 + 5 = 55

He pulled the lever again, and sighed with relief as the 6's slid off the dial.
...At least it was just two sixes, this time. He chuckled nervously. Ah, and threes, threes were nice and safe, and six was just two three, right?
COINS: 55-1 = 54 + 3 = 57

He managed to net three more coins. At this rate, he wasn't going to get what he needed by dinner - hell, he'd be lucky if he had it by the end of his lifetime. He slumped a little, wilting like a sad flower.
COINS: 57 - 1 = 56 + 3 = 59

Greta sat down at the slots and pulled the handle because she had to. She watched the spinning with some dread, but took the coins gratefully when they came tumbling out. Casino Coins: 80 -1 + 3 = 82
