You are right about the important thing! I just noticed that since you had 7
sticks, there must be a slot (which is what I should have said rather than
bank), assuming an 8 slot machine, unoccupied. I was just mildly curious as
to the role of the empty slot in your troubles: was the trouble sorted when
you avoided this slot altogether or something more complex. Don't feel
obliged to answer. A good mystery is as valuable sometimes as a good
solution...  :)
