Jog, Bike, Bet

11 December 1998

According to a story printed in Casino Journal's National Gaming Summary, money is no longer the only thing you have to lose while playing the slots. Now as you burn all that annoying excess cash in your pockets, you can burn a few calories as well.

Dreamed up by Virginia housewife Kathy Harris, "Pedal 'n Play," a stationary bike, and "Money Mill," a treadmill with speed and slope, offer bettors the opportunity to whip themselves into shape while playing slot machines. Both are equipped with buttons and handles that allow players to bet and exercise simultaneously.

Harris hasn't sold any the machines yet, but the publication reports that the new products are currently being evaluated at Sunset Station in Henderson.
