They had a contraption that could beat it. So I'm hitting all the casinos in Vegas. Like you got him a a way to win, beat 'em for sure. And right as I get to the lobby, it opens up, Henderson Police Department. All of a sudden I just book it. Now I'm running through the casino. My dad, he he got in trouble for um cheating at slots. Back then he was using a light device. Okay, what is that? Okay, so basically you have you have a slot machine, you have the hopper. When the hopper empties out quarters. Okay. It's triggered by a light. Like an infrared light or something. So this light will turn on like if it needs to If you hit cash out ten quarters, it stays on for Whatever it is, two seconds, three seconds, long enough for it to divvy out ten quarters.

Okay. So this device had a little it was like a little piece of plastic, like a look like a little shoehorn. And had a little light on there. And you'd stick it in under you know, you'd stick it in the machine and it would stick in there so you couldn't see it. No, you sit down, stick it up in there. Right. And it would and it was shaped perfectly. So when you stuck it up in there, it would go right in between where this light's on. And this and so basically when you hit cash out and you and you clicked it and turned the light on, the quarters would keep coming out. As long as that light was on. And so he was able to empty machines that way. Um I remember a a time when I was young, probably eighteen, seventeen, he actually took me with him one time to do it.
