One interesting note on the Slot Machine's evolution in technology is that the slot machine player initially rejected the video screen when computer slots were introduced. The manufacturers then replaced the screens with electromechanical reels that were controlled by a random number generator, but appeared to be physical reels that stop randomly like all the previous slots did. It has just been recently that slot players accept the new fully electronic slots (many years for acceptance) and have even let go of the notion that a slot machine must have an arm even if we only use the button to initiate action. Note that the arm on today's machines still have a mechanical feel to them even though they are only connected to a switch.
