Slot - Fruit Machine Graveyard
The Jackson Channel.com >> Gulf Coast A Graveyard For Thousands Of Slot Machines > Slot Fruit Machine Graveyard
Hurricane Katrina laid waste to slot type fruit machines - about 18.000 of them. Some were washed into the sea. Looters ran off with others. The vast majority, about 75 percent, were destroyed due to rust setting in, ruining the mecks and electrics. Gulfport and Biloxi really is a fruit machine graveyard.
State gambling regulators are supposed to keep track of every slot machine, but Katrina has made that task unrealistic because no one really knows how many slots are sitting at the bottom of the ocean.
