I'm really torn on this. On one hand, I have no problem at all with gambling. On the other hand, I never considered these machines to be "video games" in particular, with the exception of the Pachislo games in Japan.
That's what happens when you tease and mess around with the hardcores (I'll include myself in there, though there are episodes of Voyager and Enterprise that I haven't seen yet). It just gets them talking about the original stuff.
Still, I do like how they tied in the Shatner-era stuff with the events of the game. I may check it out.
