Man, I'm the all talk and no action guy. I hate it, but that's me.

X-zone saps money. This is how. First, you have to purchase a card which stores monetary value for you, their valued customer. Then you would have to top it up. Secondly you would have to tap this Tapz card at the machine you want to play. Now, this is the problem. The card cost $2 already. So $2 flew in to their pockets. Then come to the machine, the game play ranges from $0.45 to $1.80. The game value does not hit an whole number. So you will have those few cents left in your card. Trusting that Singaporeans would not want to leave that card alone with that pathetic sum of money. They would top it up. And those cunning businessmen in X-zone, would happily accept the money even you don't play at all. Lastly, you don't really see the money transaction when you tap the card. So you DO NOT feel the pain at all. SO when you die, you tap, then you tap again when you die again. Tap and tap till the machine tells you it does not have anymore value then you go top up again. Once again. They earn money.

So the moral of the story is. Top up once. Leave after it has no more game play value. = )
