When I was a child, some years ago now, I used to love reading the duck comics put out by Disney. Every now and then they would put in a story about the three little pigs. As those of you who are well read would know there were two pigs who were a bit dopey and did silly things and one who was quite clever and cautious.
This last pig was given the name of Practical Pig. Whenever the two less gifted pigs did something silly and reckless Practical Pig would bail them out and then deliver a lecture on their foolishness while waggling a finger. At the time I thought that Practical Pig was something of a smart aleck and killjoy. With advanced age and hopefully wisdom my stance on Practical Pig has altered somewhat.
As far as poker machines are concerned I feel certain that my own view and that of Practical Pig would, at this stage of my life, probably concur.
