so if you spend all your money in the slot machine first, then death is cheap! When you die, the amount you lose is based on how much cash you have - 7 percent. plus its a good way to get some extra eridium. I find for a new player, your first time thru, its a good way to get some extra chances at maybe a good green / blue guns. Been playing for most of a year now, and I used the slot machine moxxi's a lot.
