Yes, I know there's a slot; there was a slot in '07 as well (vertical compared to this year's horizontal). However, the slot is at the end of the lanes, which quite frankly are a long way to go to get a single game piece. IMHO, lots of pieces may be thrown over walls to speed up the process, even though it will admittedly risk your opponent getting the piece you threw in.
