Agreed that the idler which goes "nosiree bob, nosiree bob, nosiree bob
bob bob" is for sync and channel probes. This waveform is only used in
Japan and has stations of varying range on ~13 known frequencies.
The data segments (payloads) are obviously encrypted and usually they
have the same chop-chop-chop as the idler (though not always).
The casinos seem to be replacing the machine which sounds like this with
newer video based money eaters. Future generations will not be able to
hear something that sounds unsettlingly like Japanese secure
communication every time they drop a quarter, or two, or three.
