I wont be surprised if this become a general thing bar owners do. Imagine selling bottle of expensive drinks to people and showing them a way of getting their money back if they can gamble. The strategy is good and it is a two way thing but trust me if many persons in the bar try gambling on the slot machines daily it will create more profits for the bar owner.
This is a typical definition of sip and spend

I disagree though, it's only maybe in Las Vegas that you can see slot machines outside of the casinos. And it's not even comparable to ATM machines. Unless the government really wanted their people to get addicted and then society to decay then they will do it.
But it doesn't make sense at all for them to do it. So I doubt that we will see this in the future. Slot machines should only be inside the casino. As if this go outside, there could be underage that might exposed to it.
