If you're wondering whether you have too much Cisco in your shop take a look at Cannery Casino & Hotel 
in North Las Vegas, which has implemented Cisco gear from top to bottom - right down to networking all its slot machines using Cisco Virtual Switching System (VSS). Cisco reseller DSW has posted up a video of its project to kit out the casino with Cisco Physical Security, Cisco Unified Communications, and other Cisco security and wireless technologies. The video is pretty marketing-heavy but you'll get a feel of how Cisco equipment is being used at the casino.
If slot machines can be nodes on a network I'd be interested to hear out about other 'unusual' nodes in customer installations.

*Ethernet?*
Wow, that's weird. All of our casinos here are required to use fiber optics to the slot machines, as a security precaution.
I would've thought the requirements would've been more stringent in LV.
fiber optics to the slot-banks ?
I personallynever heard off that ( fiber optics to the slot-banks )!? It is too expensive to run that much fiber .
