Um, bwuh? I can't tell if you're joking or not. You do realize that the coins stop spinning and it's fairly easy to take a screenshot of them that way. You can also take a screenshot before the winnings show. I don't doubt the possibility that it's fake, but I find it about as likely as finding Doritos in my pocket.
Wet Doritos.

Its hard to take a screenshot like that. You have to push the print screen button as soon as the wheels stop spinning (meaning you need to be ready whilst they are spinning) or you get the boxes around them (
Fig 1) or get a score down the bottom AND boxes around them (
Fig 2)
It is possible to do, but the likelyhood the screenie is reall...not very high

No, I swear to *insert appropriate diety name here* it's a real screenshot, but it's not an actual spin of the reels. When I opened up the shockwave window, that was the initial reel setting. Now, maybe it's random, or maybe it's one of a bunch of pre-set startup reel positions, but when I saw it I said 'Ah, shoot!' (although I didn't actually use the word 'shoot') and took a screenshot of it with an applet I use called capture express.
As an aside, I work in a casino. Some video slot machines have certain places you can touch on the screen, that will bring up a demo mode (always results in a jackpot on the spins, but no payout) or a slot tourney mode (always lands on a symbol, never between the symbols) if you have the correct password. I've tried typing in a million possible words and phrases trying to get some kind of easter egg, but never found anything. It's possible that something I typed in caused it to pop that up as the startup reel position , but there's no telling.

He wanted to make my newly painted Tyrannian Krawk into a baby.

Krawks don't come in baby, so whenever he comes, he will always miss.

Yeah, I know. But think of all the other owners who got their pet Babyfied and had to repaint it.

Terrible.
Why do they even make such horrible REs? I can understand the blue/red ones, but ...Baby and Invisible?

The Blue and Red ones I think would look the worst. At least with Baby and Invisible, it looks like you just painted your pet something else.

Yay!
I saved up to 1 million (for bank interest) and then bought the mootix for 555k... Took a while to get the mootix attached though, but it was necessary since I like mootix drop so much

Congrats, I got that avatar today as well.
Getting the Mootix to attach was a pain though.
