That is the kind of places these things were at.

It literally looks like a blue collar lounge from, at the latest, the early 60s.

Joe Fosco (I know everyone hates him, but still) once said that most of the people gambling with the mob bookies these days are just old men who don't want to bother with a computer.

The nature of the establishments at the video poker places I've seen suggests the same thing... and keeping in line with the theory that the whole thing is aged to the point of almost complete decrepititude.
