A modern-day Australian bushranger has peeled off from his pack of fellow reprobates to focus on his own interests, as the evening ends up at a 24-hour licenses hotel.
While keeping his gang in sight, local man Antonio James (28) has ridden his steel horse deep into the night, while in the comfort of an air-conditioned smoking room at the degenerate after-hours oasis, The Lord Kidman Hotel in Betoota.
“We’d love to join him but they don’t let you go in that room unless you are all individually playing a machine. They don’t let you stand around just one” says Brad, who’s trying his very hardest not to join Antonio on the road as an outlaw.
“He robs those things blind. At least, thats what he tells us”
“He is the modern day Ned Kelly. He’s just takes from the rich [gaming industry] – but he’s just such a gentlemen while he does it”
Antonio has held the same cracking pace for several hours now, as he steers the steel brumby down through the scrub.
“Come on you bastard” he whispers.
“It’s just me boy. It’s just me.
Unfortunately, another feature flies by without any luck. But Antonio plans on pushing this thing down Kosciusko side.
“Get wide you bastard!”
“Yaaa yaaa!”
He hits it. 10 free games at 2:15 am.
The wild horse neighs.
A feature in a feature.
The steel brumby has been tamed.
