Awesome.
I remember when everybody played basically this exact machine in middle school when we used to sneak to the market during recess. There used to be all kinds of different varieties of slot machines at basically every market and gas station in Finland, regulated by a sanctioned monopoly called RAY. Nobody really cared if you played one at whatever age, especially in the 90's. Wild times.
People cared even less on cruise ships. Those were mainly using paf machines though, probably for legal reasons. Search "paf joker poker" for images of the classic machine. Nice features was the joker and double or nothing.
I played this kind of games a lot since I was 7 years old because we used to travel a lot. One time I made a win sharing deal with my brother to reduce risk of an unlucky streak, but I immediately hit the jackpot after that. Good times.
