as in, im level 30, but the story mission im on is a lvl 24 mission, so the slot machine items are all level 22-23. Ive noticed the reason that the items are a few levels behind is because the machines dont go by what level you are, it goes by what story mission you are on. Is millions of credits an exaggeration? or are you for real? I've heard others say that straight vault symbols and straight marcus-heads results in nice gear, but not once have I ever had that turn up. 2, They're all the same machine (even the ones carried on the backs of 'one armed bandits'), 3, the best drop I've personally ever seen (after millions of credits spent) is a few random purples that were levels below me.
