A real money progressive that isn't tracked digitally? That'll take some work... (sorry

)
One of the problems of 24/7 news is they'll jump on any updates, and often skip the necessary steps to validate the authenticity to be first to air. The Financial Times talking about 'spitting out money from slot machines' is a curious one given most machines are TITO (ticket in, ticket out) and any cash goes to the bottom which is secured by physical locks - so the only mechanic there would be spitting out
tickets and that seems like an awful lot of work for a cheap publicity stunt. It
might be possible for ticket redemption machines or ATMs, but again it's pocket change compared to what they're demanding.
I might give them a bit more leeway if the story sounded credible, but it doesn't!
