Yes. And? It's a D&D licensed slot machine on a casino floor.

For me it isn't a moral objection to gambling itself. We have a casino near where I live and occasionally I go there with my wife (I have a rule of not spending more than 50 bucks though and leaving as soon as I double my money). So I am not against people enjoying themselves responsibly or anything like that. I'm also not calling for anyone to stop doing business with WOTC or anything (this won't impact whether I buy a WOTC book or not). And I had family when I was younger who had worked at the tracks (and I know people who work at the Casino near us). But gambling as a business is pretty exploitative and has a very negative impact on lots of peoples lives. I've known people who have been 40K in debt over gambling, and they still can't seem to stop. I just don't know that I feel great about D&D being attached to that

Games Global is not a casino slot machine maker. You will not find Games Global products in a casino.
Games Global has nothing to do with Konami. Konami makes casino slot machines.
Konami licensed and made Dungeons and Dragons slot machines.

Yes, and? Again, whatever point you're trying to make isn't clear. All I said was there was an older D&D slot machine on casino floors. Many in fact. That's correct. What does it have to do with what you're trying to say?

“This also isn't the first D&D slot machine, just the latest.” I read that as you saying that this new partnership was a physical casino machine like the old ones were.

D&D slots stopped being D&D after the 2nd iteration. 3rd iteration is a video-gamey superhero slot machine with none of the gritty realism of old-school D&D slots.

Don't even get me started on 5th iteration D&D slots. So much hand holding, and now they want us to see the tokens as more than just disposable currency for our enjoyment.
