Anyone who lives in Wisconsin and has been in a bar doesn't have to look far to see a Cherry Master, Poker Machine, or various other types of gambling machines. Most of the time each bar has addicts who come in and dump most or all of their paycheck into the machine.

These machines are illegal but law enforcement ignores it in most of the State. Once in a great while you hear of a raid but not very often. They did how ever decide it was necessary to clean them out of truck stops, that was a big no no. God forbid a traveling trucker waste a little money on a machine sober but it's OKAY for someone to get drunk and waste hundreds of dollars in a bar machine that should be going for taking care of a family. It happens folks, I see it all the time. At Casino's they won't let you gable if you are overly intoxicated and they limit the number of drinks you can have but it's just fine for you to get so hammered you don't know where you are at. If you lost a lot of money in these machines and think you might come back in the morning to win it back, forget it. Many bar owners play them themselves after hours so don't hold your breath if you think you can get it back in the morning.
