* I think it would be great to
not handle the money. It would be so much faster and easier.
Helen Drake
* I am not sure I have enough will
power to use my credit card in the slot machine. Sure would be
handy. Candice
* Oh yes, this would be very
convenient. I can visualize myself opening the following month’s
VISA statement and conveniently fainting, too. Thanks, but no
thanks. Chris from Ohio
* Yes it would be more convenient
but I wouldn't use it! It is too easy to go overboard on gambling with an
option such as this. Some people don't know when to quit and their families
suffer for it! Beverly Y Garay
* Convenient?
Absolutely. Would I do it? I sure hope not. I don't take my
ATM card to Vegas with me because I want to exercise some kind of
control. I'd hate to have to leave my credit cards home as well. Barbara

* I would NOT use my credit card in a
slot machine and I do not think the casino's should do that. People with
gambling problems have a hard enough time. Then there is the whole issue
of forgetting your card and someone else using it. I have left a million
slot club cards, they cost me nothing, can you image if you left your credit
card and people could play it, Dear God. I do like the paper rather then coins
being the pay out. Cleaner, easier and no waiting for a hooper fill. Thanks
for asking, have to ask, is there a comp for replying? Ha Ha A true Vegas
Diva. Judi
* No way, I mean no way. I don't
even like bringing a card on my trip but do for emergencies. What a temptation
this would be to "get even" after cash is gone. How many poor souls
would max out a card after loosing there bank roll. Watcherboy
* No, because you could lose too
much money that way. At least if you go to the ATM or cage you have time
to cool off or think about what you are doing. Will Roya
* Are you nuts? If people
could use the credit card to gamble do you realize how many people would max
out every credit card they own and be in debt for the rest of their lives? So
many of the people that gamble anyway are probably already in debt and need
"gambling help" now but won't admit they need it. I think
using a credit card for gambling is a very very bad idea. Just having a credit
card is sometimes a gamble. So I guess you could say, NO I would not use a
credit card if that was an option. Thanks for asking though.

* No,
I wouldn't use this feature as gambling holds no interest for me in any
forms. Ken and Cindy Richards
* Credit card play at a slot
machine would be alright if the player has control of his or her account. to
the weaker it would be dangerous. Ken Labak
* I would not use a credit card
feature on a slot machine. I would be concerned about over-spending. Also, my
husband and I always prefer coin operated slot machines. They are a lot more
fun when you win! Janine Lewis
* This would be much too dangerous for
me. I don't even take my ATM card when visiting. Tjld123
* I would not use this option
because it would seem like a bottomless pit of cash and then reality
would set in when the credit card bill came! Mary Powers
* This is too scary for me. The
way I look at it is that if I need to use a credit card now is because I am
loosing at that machine. That means its time to get up and get away from it .
It gives you time to reconsider going back to gamble or just to call it a day.
This is by experience I can say that. My husband and I have gotten caught up
into the action, the drinks take over and next thing he's sending me to the
nearest atm for "1 more shot".
Sometimes you have to know when to call it quits.... Credit cards could be
deadly to some people (who don't know when to stop). Nancy
