Don't go Gambling, the Machines are Tight!

We went gambling over the weekend and I couldn't believe how tight the slot machines were. You couldn't win if you tried. Usually my brother in-law always wins but he couldn't win either. I guess it is because of the economy but I'm not sure. The problem is it just makes me not want to gamble. So who are they hurting by tightening the machines? I think only themselves.
