A recent armed holdup at a gaming venue in Victoria, Australia proved that slot players take their hobby very seriously. From media accounts it has been divulged that during the holdup players continued playing their machines, and even when the police arrived, continued to do so:

“The witness said the crime scene was bizarre, as people continued playing the pokies and turned a blind eye to the incident.”

How odd is it that people will continue to play in the face of a holdup! Its possible that some players simply didn’t notice - after all the gaming machines do hold your attention. Possibly some others just didn’t want to get involved.

Its hard to think of another situation where people would ignore such an event or not run away and hide under a table.
