PureDepth 3-D Slot Machine

PureDepth has been known for the military contracts that it has handled, and the development of the various 3-D technologies that are implemented in top-secret uses for the government. However, the company has recently added a different kind of employer to its roster, that of International Game Technology, the world’s largest slot machine designer and manufacturer.

In October, the two companies joined forces to create slot machines that the likes of have never been seen. They will be creating digital video displays that will completely revolutionize the slot machine industry. With the new technology, programmers will be able to control every aspect of the slot machine like cost, payout, images, etc. and operators will be able to make real time changes through back end servers.

No more cherries and bananas, you could be looking at slot machines perfectly tuned to whatever the theme or guest artist is in the casino at the moment. Oh look, Celene Dion is performing - well she is also on the slot machines instead of 777. They could win front row tickets, anything the computer operators want. They can even change how much each slot machine is playable for – with just a few keystrokes penny machines could become dollars and vice versa.

Regulators are not as excited about the possibility however. They say that the new slot machines would be more vulnerable to hackers or glitches. The Nevada Gaming Control Board is known for setting the tone for casino and slot machine regulators across the world, and if they are concerned, everyone should be. They recently adopted new regulations for digital slot machines, whereas they must approve all software modifications to the slot machines, which can take up to 30 days to complete. They don’t want operators to feel that they can start changing the slot machines without anyone watching them to make sure that nothing illegal is going on.
