What are virtual machines?

What do you think about these ticket machines that are increasing at amusement arcades?

• Here is what I think. It's quite a long story. I remember the good old days when it was those fruit machines were you won 2ps. Then in early 2000s they brought out 10p machines where you could win up to £5 which was better like that Egyptian one that says "well done you're a winner". About 3 years ago though they first starting introducing ticket machines to amusement arcades on the seafronts. At that time there were only a few of them. I remember when I first went on them I found it very funny and could not stop laughing at all these tickets coming out of the machines. The prizes were good as well when they first came out. Now though it is getting beyond a joke. They are getting to be at more and more amusement arcades and now even at The Hollywood Bowling Centres as well. The thing about them is your not winning proper 10p or 2p coins any more just a few tickets on average of £1. With proper money you could use it at other amusement arcades or even to buy stuff with. With the tickets you can't keep collecting them from about 30 amusement arcades to get a lot for a big prize. They have to be used at the exact amusement arcade you won them in. The machines only pay out on average 1 or 2 tickets and your lucky if you win 70 tickets. The prizes are mainly for kids like toys or kids sweets. For a good adult prize you need at least 1000 tickets which is impossible to get (especially in 1 day). So what do you think about these ticket machines that are increasing at amusement arcades?
