ATM Gambling - Bank to Woo Customers with ATM Roulette

That’s right! A Japanese bank has introduced gambling to its ATM machines.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese banks have long had a reputation for poor service but at least one is trying something new—wooing customers with an opportunity to try their hand at Lady Luck.

A roulette wheel pops onto the screen of automatic teller machines when customers of Ogaki Kyoritsu Bank Ltd finish transferring funds. A lucky spin and the customer wins 1,000 yen ($8.50).

“Using ATMs is impersonal and lacks communication,” said a spokesman for the bank which is based in Gifu prefecture, central Japan. “We wanted to add some fun.”
