      I don't get the finnish bandit reference, nor why the link points to this same page.

        I found what Alice was on about and where the link should have taken you...

        The Autumn Seal Slot Machine!

        http://www.autumnseal.com/

        As it says, you can win coupons for the games listed, which are made my Finnish game studios (Frozenbyte, Remedy Ent., Recoil Games, Almost Human). The only coupon Alice failed to mention is a 75% off coupon for Trine Complete Collection.
