Has anyone ever heard of, or know of someone being shocked by a slot machine ?

Question

My wife spent the night in the hospital after putting her hand on the touch screen on a slot machine. She is still having numness in her arm. I am trying to find out more about this so others don't suffer the same fate.

Answer 1

Yes its happened to me before but not as bad as to your wife by the sounds of it.

It also happens to me often in our local Tesco store - I get bad shocks from the trolley and racks.

Its something to do with static build up.

I hope your wife is okay
