Slot machines huh? Well, I had to try a little. I hit a slot machine at the airport. The reason behind this is that most people just go through and throw a quarter in here and there, and don’t stick around long enough to actually set the machine off. My office mate at work’s father won big that way. But I ended up doing the same thing, throwing a couple quarters in, and moving on. Even the crystal I was holding didn’t work.

Later, we were waiting on a show, and decided to throw some coins in a slot or two. The nickels didn’t do anything, so we moved up to the quarters. Shirley sat on one side and Barbara on the other. I took the crystal that I wear around my neck and pointed it at the machine and concentrated, but didn’t do much. On the other hand, Shirley was winning now and then, and Barbara was doing a bit. So, I stopped playing and just sent energy. It was fairly easy (once I could hold concentration) to see the slots coming up with a winning combination. It was easier on one side than the other. Shirley probably broke even, maybe so even counting what I had put in. Barbara definitely came up ahead a little.

It was definitely an interesting experiment in energy.
