Konami Slot Machines Flashing Subliminal Messages?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the we-are-NOT-very-sorry dept.

shadowspar writes "A Canadian province has pulled several models of Konami slot machines out of service after a news investigation revealed that they briefly flash a jackpot result on the screen every time they are played. Konami claims that the 'subliminal' jackpot images are unintentional and the result of a bug, but other US and Canadian jurisdictions are looking at pulling the machines as well."
