Do you ever do business at places where there are video games that operate like slot machines (that is, pictures, numbers or text spin around in several columns and stop in rows)?

Whether or not you frequent any establishments wth the kind of gaming machines mentioned in the firt question, are such machines legal for gambling purposes where you live (outside, at least in the U.S., of their presence in licensed casinos)?

It happens that one of my favorite restaurants within a 30-minute drive for me, a little Nepali place with delicious curries and momos 9the latter are akin to a filled dumpling or mexican emapanade, but probably smaller than the latter), is lousy with these video slots. And the eaery is so tiny that there's no way to sit in the place and not see people playing the games...and there has ALWAYS been at least one person at one of the machines every time I've visited. If you frequent anyplace with such machines, are you forced to see people play them when you're there?

If you've not figured it out from this survey's title and the direction of the questions here so far, yes, the vid' slots at my beolved Nepoli beanery --actually, bean curry is what I last had there; yum!--do offer cash payout...which is illegal in my state. It's not a very enforced law where I live, but 1)I morally object to gambling and 2)the people playing at the machines simply make for a desperate, kind of depressing sight while I'm enjoying my food. Do you agree wtih either of my reasons for being not comfortable as I could be going to my nearest outlet for a cuisine I really like (the next nearest Nepali jonts are each about an hour from me)?

With the knowledge that you're patronizing what appears to be a front for an illegal operation, however much your local law enforcemetn may be hesitant to bust the place for its illegality AND regardless the deliciousness of the food, would you continue to do business there?
