think of it as buying eridium, with a chance of getting an ok gun as a bonus. Don't think of it as trying to hit the jackpot. And of course, it was on a low lvl character, my gaige when I was just starting her out, I was gambling for eridium, so I could have more inventory spaces. Got many usable blues while levelling, a good bit of eridium, and all that.īut only once, since I started playing, did I get the '3 vaults' jackpot that gives you a legendary. Since I knew I was gonna die (it took me a while to learn to use cover instead of standing in the open), I'd rather spend the money in the slot machine. so if you spend all your money in the slot machine first, then death is cheap! When you die, the amount you lose is based on how much cash you have - 7 percent.
plus its a good way to get some extra eridium. I find for a new player, your first time thru, its a good way to get some extra chances at maybe a good green / blue guns.
Been playing for most of a year now, and I used the slot machine moxxi's a lot.
