There’s a city legend out there about a man who could go into any Betting house in any city, walk straight up to a slot machine game, whisper something into its slot, pull on its arm and out would pour a jackpot.
He was known as the Slot machine Whisperer.
Well, I’ve in no way met anyone similar to that. But in almost every single Casino I have been I have heard people talk of this legend.
I’ve noticed persons talk to slot machines. I have observed folks yell at slot machines. I have viewed persons smack slot machines. Except I have never seen them win the jackpot after doing such a thing.
The very first time I heard about the Slot machine Whisperer I was in a Reno Gambling house. I was playing black jack when I heard a buzz go via the Gambling house. The player next to me, his name was Max, advised me that the buzz was because a person had spotted the Slot machine Whisperer enter the Gambling house. He then proceeded to tell me the story of the Whisperer and how he had mastered slots machine games.
Shortly right after that there had been security guards milling about all around. And they had been all headed straight to the slot pit.
He told me this was extremely unusual as the Slot machine Whisperer was a quite mild man. And that he only took the jackpot from one slot machine game. He never attempted to take a Gambling house for every slot machine jackpot. He also advised me that the Whisperer also gave fifty percent of his slot machine jackpots to an orphanage. He wasn’t a greedy man.
A handful of minutes later we saw security carrying a man out of the machine pit. The word was that he was not the Slot machine game Whisperer except some thief who was attempting to use an electronic gadget to defraud the slot machine games.
I have never ever run into the Slot machine game Whisperer. I do not know if he even exists. I think of him as an urban legend or a myth a number of slot machine gambler dreamed up.
Except the thought of a person who can master slot machines just by speaking softly to them is kind of enchanting. Like a modern day Gambling establishment Robin Hood.
