DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] This device 10 can be made of elastic or any like material. It has two enlargements, such as stopper-coils 11,12 to help keep your Slot Machine Cord bonus card 13 in place after you slide your bonus card, e.g., from the right side to the left side. This runner is attached to the outside palm side of the glove 14 near the wrist area. The runner can be sewn to the glove body; or snaps, velcro, or like hardware can be used. This feature enables the slot machine player to run the cord 15 from side to side without having to unhook the bonus card cord from the slot machine glove, and thus enables smooth play.

[0014] In another aspect, the invention provides two or more discrete connection locations, such as discrete loops 16, 17.

[0015] This new device has been added because new technology has resulted in rearrangement of the positions where the slot machine bonus cord holder is placed. Some holders are on the far right, some in the middle, and some others to the far left.
