* In ''[[Time Splitters]]: Future Perfect'', Mr. Khallos has a slot machine aboard his freight train (it occurs just before you try to stop the missile). Whether or not you can actually win anything from it is anyone's guess...Anna, the scientist at [[Mission Control]], [[What the Hell, Player?|chides you]] upon trying to play it.
