Last week we compared the $230 Indian EVM V/s the $3300 American Diebold. Let’s today compare the Diebold with the Las Vegas casino slots. We’ll stick both to functionality and money involved because the electronic voting machine, we’ll think wrongly, is much cheaper than the money sucking monster.



Clicking on the picture above will take you to a beautiful comparison chart between the two. As far as functionality and service is concerned, the slot machine scores much above the EVM, whether it’s the software controlling them or the security. A little bit of research on the net and I came across these slot machines for less than $2000 (remember the Indian EVM costs just $230). Now, the fact that the EVM costs $3300 per unit might give ripples amongst the tax payers, after all it’s there money involved in this box and also future.
