    Gizmodo Japan: ATM Slot Game

    Because waiting around for cash just isn't "fun" anymore, starting next month, Ogaki Kyoritsu Bank will be rolling out new ATM machines featuring a slot game that customers can play while they wait. According to a bank spokesman, 1 in 10 will hit tripple sevens having a 150 yen payout, enough to cover the bank's after-hours ATM service fee, while 1 in 500 will hit tripple gold with a 1000 yen payout. While the idea is novel, there's still no word on how the bank plans to handle irate customers forced to wait in line by morons playing slots at the ATM.
