 This 1944 Mills Slot machine was a bit tricky...took a lot of shots to get aperture, shutter, lighting, and wheels to cooperate. Overall this was about $30 in nickels!

I suppose you could also say there was the 'speed' at which you lose your money.

a bit of a slanted angle might make this a bit more interesting. Also, the focus could be sharper. I like the motion.. was this handheld? Must have been.. can't imagine you setting up a tripod in a casino LOL! Neat colors, and just enough blur to give the speed impression, but can still see the symbols. good job.

Great idea! Shows speed well. Adjusting levels, brightness/contrast might improve it as well. =-)

in general a slot machine makes me think more of some senior citizen sitting there all day long - but you captured the spinning pretty well here. Overall the shot doesn't hold my interest though and doesn't say *Speed* to me. 4

Would have liked even more if cropping were tighter or more inclusive of the whole machine.5
