The only thing that interferes with this metaphor is that most people agree slot machines must be capable of actually doing what the manufacturers claim they can, and they have to let someone win once in a while.
There are multiple places where the analogy falls apart.
Executives aren’t using slot machines as a reason to fire thousands. Artists’ jobs aren’t being taken by slot machines. People aren’t posting about slot machines every single day on social media.
Substitute loot boxes then.
