He gravitated back toward the slots at first, if only because they were easy and familiar and he needed a moment to think. When he tried to pull the lever this time, the machine was unresponsive, but only remained so until a grinning attendant pointed at the coin slot. Now he had to pay? Screw this place.
He considered trying another game, but he could only presume all of them would require coins now that he had been collared. Max reluctantly parted with one of his, narrowing his eyes at his reward when it came. Oh well. At least he'd made a profit.

Cecil didn't like this, not one bit, but what choice did he have. His options were limited and he didn't want to know what this collar would do if he attempted to leave. Not to mention he couldn't leave everyone else here. A large number of his faction was present and he needed to try his best to help get everyone out.
Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves and push the previous event out of his mind Cecil took a seat at one of the slot machines. He wasn't much of a gambler but at least it didn't cost much to play.
The first turn of the wheels didn't yield much but a win was still a win.

Figuring there wasn't much to lose by playing again Cecil pulled the lever once more. He watched the wheels turn and land on their chosen numbers once again giving him a small pay out. There was no way he was going to win enough coins at this rate but still he figured he could play a bit longer. He had four more coins that he started with.

Each time Cecil reached for the lever he realized how morbid that it was that he was gambling for his life. LITERALLY. It was a sinking feeling as he watched the wheels go round and land on a small pay out but he gathered the meager coins and turned to play again.

At least this game was consistent and Cecil had to be thankful that he was at least still getting something. It was a small victory but a victory none the less.

One more turn of the lever and Cecil found that he got a few more coins than his last pay out. It wasn't much but it was enough to give him hope. He had even turned to play again but an attendant had stepped up to him to tell him he had to move on and with a frown he relinquished his seat. It would probably be best to move on to a game that had a higher payout but the slot machines had been rather safe. Oh well.

Another coin, another pull, another reward. One step closer to getting out of here. Not that he wanted to do that either.

He'd mocked the slots before but now, thinking it over a second time, Austin thought it was the perfect spot to get his start: to test his luck out a little, before moving on to bigger and brighter things. He offered his neighbor a sketchy sort of salute as he sat, expression bright, and pulled on the lever with a surprising amount of enthusiasm. Eyes almost feverish as he watched the numbers.

Austin's slim and a bit taller than average at 5'10' with sandy hair shorn short on the sides, longer and curly on the top. His eyes, behind a pair of thin wire thick plastic frames with the wrong prescription, are faded green and usually amused; his skin is fair, freckling in sun unless he's careful; his mouth is just a little too full, in a way that appeals to most people.
Not a bad win; he collected his handful of coins, pouring them into his stash and cheerfully sliding another home to take his second pull. The numbers spun -- almost matched, almost, and then rolled over to a bust. his expression fell, just a little.
Coins: 57 - 1 = 56

Austin closed his eyes, counted to 10, and then slid a coin home for his third pull. The numbers stacked: a row of 1s settled neatly into place, his heart rate picked up -- and then they split again.
Still, a small win. Something, better than nothing.

Now he was starting to remember why slots was such a sucker game. The excitement had faded down to a dull boredom as he pulled for a fourth time. One more, he thought. Just one more, then he'd move on to something better.

At least his final pull was an exciting one: two sixes, and then the third rolling over slowly, slowly, slowly -- to make three of a kind. He couldn't help but let out a little whoop as he collected his coins and packed up.
Nine more coins in total. Not terrible, for a quick minute, but also not great. He thought he could do better.

Rorrow walked up to the Machine, might as well start somewhere right? He looked around for others he knew. Spotting no one just yet he sighed...he wish he knew where his Twin was.
"Well...lets start...1 coin per pull, eh? Bunch of pucks." he grumbled.

If he had any pride in being a gambler, or a statistician, he would have avoided the slots. They were, after all, the most brainless and skill-less game in the casino.
He had been worried the machines had been rigged, as they always supposedly are, but there seemed to be a fair number of people getting some small payouts.
Slotting a coin in, he cranked the lever, completely unamused at the 3 coins the machine spat out for his matching pair.
