I could be on the river or in the desert
I could be in the swamp or a sparkling city
I am rather rectangular and can make lots of noise
I have bright lights and pictures too
They bring their cups and buckets and feed me well
They want me all to themselves quite greedily
When finally I am full and can take no more
I am suddenly everyone's new best friend
What am I?

I am a slot machine. In a casino, people carry their coins around in cups and buckets. True gamblers will feed the same machine for hours to hit the jackpot. When a slot machine is full or reaches its set level, it pays out. Everyone comes rushing over to see the machine paying the jackpot. Slot machines are usually shown or thought of having fruit in the window.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

Good one. Had me going in a few directions until I gave in and looked at the clue. Then, I immediately knew it was a slot machine. Too bad I've never had to opportunity of having a filled to capacity slot machine as my new best friend. Maybe someday?!
Ha! I liked that one a lot, thanks!
i thought it was a refrigerator, it basically fits everything also.
Figgured this one out pretty easily, though.. you mention desert, river, swamp and sparkling city.
Desert - Las Vegas
River - Riverboat
City - Atlanta
Swamp - ???
Desert - Las Vegas
River - Riverboat
City - Atlanta
Swamp - ???
Dumb and very, very vague.
I was stumped until I read the hint. Great teaser!
Good thought I was loosing what little touch I had!!!!!!!
Nice one!
very easy my first one
Those were great clues, I got it right away. My only question is: How is it in a swamp?
I wasn't even close on this one. Not even with the hint. Great one. You stumped me again !
pretty hard
YAH! for me, I actually got it!
swamp = new orleans.
this was a good one. can't think of anything else that fits. which is a sign of a good teaser.
and i don't see how a 'fridge would. at all...

Good Job!!
Funny thing, in about an hour we're going over to play the slots at the local casino. I got the answer but than I said "no, can't be". Sure enough it was. Hope that means I'm gonna win big.
ok i thot it wuz a tv at first but wen i read the hint i knew wat it wuz
OHHHHHH!! Right im stupid!
I thoght it was water until I read the hint and then I was clueless !
Not to be mean or anything, but i think this one is gay and sucked. Sorry just my opinion
that was a good 1
Well done i thought it was great
good 1 BUT...
this is ANOTHER repeat....
all of you must be new if you have not seen this one, just within the last few weeks....
they must be running low on teasers if they are re-using them this often.

There is one big problem with this teaser. Slot machines do not pay off when they are full. If you believe that you have been suckered like so many others who feed the machines. Slot machines pay off on a random basis, period. A machine could fill up a hundred times and never pay off, or it could pay off twice in a row. It is all random.
This is an original teaser and not a copy of anyone else's. My teasers are strictly my own and are created from my life experiences. I have not had time to read all 7k+ teasers. Copying is stealing. If this one is even remotely similar to another, then it is purely by accident. This is a new teaser so you may remember reading it very recently already.
Casinos can set slot machines to pay off when they hit certain levels. The meaning of full in this riddle means that the machine has reached that preset level. It does not mean that the machine is literally full of money. Yes, you are right, the casinos change these settings often. Las Vegas is one of my favorite destinations and quite an awesome place!

I liked that but never guessed it!

Braingle must be out of fresh 1s

Timilee, i think you are referring to the dates that people have left comments and assuming it has been re-run. The teasers that are submitted as new can be looked at by anyone looking in that particular category (ie comments made in feb, March). Teasers are then chosen as daily teasers, they are the same teaser by the same person but just chosen to be viewed by all subscribed, please don't accuse people of re-running teasers when they haven't.
Good teaser, I was no where near the answer-perhaps I should have looked at the hint

Very nice ! Well spoken too . THANKS
Very creative.
I thought of fruit immediately, dunno why
Great teaser Myst!! Stumped me until I read the hint.
Great teaser Myst. I did get the answer though. That's what I like about it.
I got it from the hint, but not until then. Good one, although some clues were a little far out of the norm for a slot machine.
oOh! I didn't get it
I was clueless. They are not my best friend, as I have never put any money in a slot machine. I have better things to waste money on.
After I rejected the first word that came to me "bank," it took a few minutes, but I got it.
Tricky!!! I was stumped until I read the hint. Then the answer came to me within a minute. Very, very good riddle. As for the locations implied, I would figure:
River - riverboat casinos
Desert - Las Vegas
Swamp - Florida?? Louisiana?? Don't know.
City - Atlantic City
River - riverboat casinos
Desert - Las Vegas
Swamp - Florida?? Louisiana?? Don't know.
City - Atlantic City
Tricky, but I got it. I don't love all the references (a slot doesn't pay out when it's "full"; it's just random), but overall pretty good! Nice job.
