Konami gambling machines removed due to dodgy subliminal messaging

Ontario's provincial gambling operator has "pulled 87 video slot machines out of service or physically removed them from its casinos" after an investigation found some tricky imagery hidden within. Apparently, a number of Konami slot machines flashed "winning jackpot symbols" for a fifth of a second every so often, purportedly giving players "subliminal messages" that would keep them chucking away coins for longer periods of time. Comically, Konami is asserting that the flashing images are simply a "software glitch" that will be fixed shortly, which leaves us wondering what else could be ailing these machines for the betterment of the establishment.

Cheeky buggers!

PersonaLly I think it will end up with people whO are addicted to gambling sueing casinos or slot machine companies. This will happen eVery timE dodgy things go on though, which coMpany will bE next?

We're not quite sure exactly, Crizzle, but rest assured that paypalling was the right thing to do.
