I played a Monopoly slot when I was in Vegas some 12 years ago.  It was one of those that had three identical machines next to each other.  Think it was Monopoly, Jackpot Station.  I wasn't having much luck on one, so moved seats to another.  Another fella sat in the one I vacated.  Within 10 minutes an alarm went off and he was soon visited by a manager and two security guards.  The manager shook him by the hand.  I didn't even look at what he won, but my wallet is still in counselling all these years later!  😫

Westside, ah you learn something new every day.  It's not easy finding every single one all together with songs, singers, dates etc so that's interesting.  Bit like Dr No which was just instrumental.  Must say my favourite is Nobody Does it Better, in fact Spy Who Loved Me is my favourite Bond film.  I liked Connery and he "is" Bond in many ways but I enjoyed the Moore era the most, especially when he found his feet.  I just prefer the comedy and the light hearted approach.  As Moore himself said “There is no such thing as a spy who can walk anywhere in the world, and every bartender recognises him and goes, ‘Oh, Mr. Bond, a vodka martini, shaken not stirred.’

11 today thanks zico and that includes the freebies.
Probably doesn't help that I bailed on Bond after The World is not enough, Still got Adele mind you as that song was ubiquitous.
My favourite Bond tune is one that wasn't Bond really - OHMSS by Popellerheads.

22, thanks Zico, including the Shirley Bassey freebies.

I gave myself "All The Time In The World," as I guessed that's what you were after, but it is not correct. The theme song to OHMSS, is in fact an instrumental. " All The Time In The World," isn't the theme song (a theme song is played over the opening credits, as all the others are). It features in the rest of the film and is very  associated with the film, but isn't the title song/theme. The theme song (instrumental) is "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," composed by John Barry. Covered by Moby, some years ago
