Comments:A song that was written for a school rock band that explains my thoughts and feelings about pokie machines (also known as one-arm bandits, slot machines, etc.). the vocal part was initally written for a female vocalist. The piece was then updated in 2003 to make it easier for a rock band to play. The vocal, guitar and drum parts in particular were altered to make the song easier to sing for a vocalist, and easier to play for the guitarist and drummer. Initially written on Encore (Same as Noteworthy Composer instrumentation).
