         Don't have any specific information about your queery-sorry,

to make these gaming machines
"accessable," it would require putting them on the map, thus  sort of 
making impotent any semblance of mystery, social openness  or 
non-normativity associated wit the deviant identity.
Please tell me what you think of this?
