Backstory
Michael Marauder is a slot machine that was revamped years ago thanks to a robotics experiment in which it was implanted with a chip that supposedly provided it with enough AI to distinguish when the player had an addiction problem. The goal of this experiment was that upon detecting a gambling addiction problem, the machine would stop working for that player. The problem was that players with such problems ended up hitting the machine hard when it stopped working, deteriorating its AI and causing it to modify its behavior towards humans.
