Hook, the machines are not just in bars and restaurants in Illinois.  They are also in gas station/convenience stores....and truck stops.  And I pulled off the interstate at Princeton, Illinois to see a sign on a business called "Suzie's Video Poker and Slots."  I went in to investigate.  There were five machines, four of them being played, and a slot attendent reading a book.  The slots were the only business in the building.   This building  was certainly not modern and probably had only about 800 square feet.  I googled up this "Suzie" and found out it was a chain outfit.

Another thing I noticed about these "five machine casinos" whether they were in a bar, restaurant or gas station was they placed no extra burden on the employee's. Every location had a ticket redemption kiosk next to the machines.  When one cashes out they just insert the ticket in the kiosk, grab their money, and hit the road.  
And also in clubs, halls or lodges.  Max $2 bet and max $500 win.  All gambling transactions handled by machine.  No risk or extra labor for the bar or any other operating business.  No brainer business decision.  An almost free 200K per year for some dive bars.
