With the closing of the Casino, the Slot Machine is put out of commission. It sits alone in the room, gathering dust, but some people still wish to find out its secrets. They sneak into the establishment and dust off the Slot Machine, inspecting it for more buttons. They find silver tokens that seem to fit the machine and try to use them. They do fit. To each side of the Slot Machine, there are computers hooked up to power cables and somehow still running. The only thing on them is an application: one has an application called "Right Attendant" and the other "Left Attendant." They are opened to reveal a chat-bot client that will answer questions posed to it. In a box on the bottom, it has a count of total questions asked, and this is the same number on each application.
Curious, the groups try and ask questions to no avail; the answers make no sense; there must be some trick to it. So they search for clues. Behind the Slot Machine are a stack of letters, each with a name addressed on them. Considering their proximity to the Slot Machine, they likely relate to it and the mysteries behind it.
The first one is addressed to 10k and is opened with trepidation:
It makes little sense. The next one is addressed to Kestrel. However, it contains another letter which is addressed to ShadowFire. This one reads as follows:
Well, that gives almost nothing either. The players move to the third message, this one also addressed to the same 10k:
There are two more pieces of paper, but they hold what appears to be nonsense, so they leave them for later.
And so, the collaborative attempt at solving the Slot Machine's mysteries begins!
In case you guys hadn't realized, I've been giving out hints for finding hidden buttons and levers. These hints will now be publicly revealed instead of being given only to the person who found the hidden buttons and levers. I will also be keeping a count of silver tokens used to determine how much profit/debt this Slot Machine would get.
Current silver tokens used: 106 (note that this includes spinning the Slot Machine as well as questions)
Silver tokens lost to inactivity: 115
Silver tokens still in circulation: 60
Total silver tokens lent: 276
Total silver tokens bought: 5
Total profit: 5M yen (so far)
Total number of players: 11 (+1, after closing)
Current small payout: 10M yen
Current large payout: 45M yen
Total gold tokens won: 0
(I'll be counting it as if you're first using up the 62 left in circulation and then buying after that. Realistically, that's not quite what would happen, but it works as an approximation.)

"A trophy for buttons? Bah, not enough
So here's a hint: attendants have it rough.
Whether truth or lie, all before told
To give others a small hint for gold.
Does this mean nothing? Oh well, tough."

"Worry not of truth/lie conditions attached to this message. Your curiosity of buttons simply deserves to be sated. In front of the Slot Machine, please state 'lackadaisically insouciant chicanery.' It may be worth your while."
Well, that gives almost nothing either. The players move to the third message, this one also addressed to the same 10k:
"As of this moment (21st of June, 2012 1:24 pm GMT), there have been 13 questions answered truthfully and 12 questions answered untruthfully."
There are two more pieces of paper, but they hold what appears to be nonsense, so they leave them for later.
