		<description>To answer you question about the video slot machine, eBay didn't just sell the license to thier name and logo, they also sold the license tho their maniacal way of thinking.

You're correct that this is a penny slot game.  (At least the one near me is.)  In a typical penny slot machine, each credit cost one cent and it usualloy only costs you a penny to play a single pay line.  Most penny slot machines typically have multiple pay lines that you can bet on.  I've seen some with as many as 30 and 40 lines.  You don't have to play them all if you don't want to.  Also, in a typical penny slot machine you can bet multiple credits on the lines that you play but this is uniform on all the lines that you play.  This means that if you play at a 30-line slot machine and only play 10 lines then you would be plaing for a 10 cents (1 penny per line), 20 cents (2 pennies per line), 30 cents (3 pennies per line), etc. up to the maximum amount per line that the machines allows.  But however you play on this 30-line penny slot machine, each pull of the handle would cost you anywhere from 1 cent to $15 (if we assume a limit of five cents per payline).

Now, while it is true that each credit on the eBay machine only cost a penny, you are forces to play all payline, which there are 25 of, and you are required to play in increments of 2 cents per payline up to the max of 10 cents per payline.  So, while the max amount you can play is $2.50 per pull of the handle, the least that you can play for is 50 cents (2 cents on all 25 payline).  Technically, this makes it a 50 cent slot machine, but by nature of how they set it up, it's classified as a penny slot machine.

Just another way in which eBay's corrupt way of thinking is now seeping into reality.</description>

		<description>I agree with what you saying.  Ebay sux balls and they keep getting worse.  But right now there the only game in town.  I guess that there other auction sites available but the only one people know is ebay.

And why dis on the ebay slot machine.  I mean I seen it at a casino near me and its with the other penny slots.  Big deal.  If ebay want's to sell out there logo then let them.  Shows me how much they need cash.</description>
