Navajos Adding More Slot Machines

The Navajo Nation’s Fire Rock Navajo Casino is doing well for itself, so well that it is looking to add more slot machines. The casino has only had their doors open for the past four months, and already they have been inundated with clients. Because of their massive increase in clientele, they need to add more slot machines to keep up with the demand.

They are going to bring in another 135 slot machines, which will give them a total of 681 to offer their clients. They say that since the lines for the slot machines are sometimes two or three clients deep they knew that they had to offer more opportunities for their clients to play. They say that they have had this problem since the slot machine casino opened last November.

They said that they “don’t want [their] guests to be waiting in lines” and since the number of people waiting has increased they knew that they needed to add more slot machines. They said that if they hadn’t they would have run the risk of them going somewhere else to play the slot machines instead.

The casino says that the slot machine revenue has far outreached the numbers that they originally planned for them. They say that they have exceeded it more than three times over – and that the slot machines are so very popular that they cannot believe their good luck. Originally they thought that it might bring in somewhere around $32 million a year, which is about a fifth of their annual budget. They say they have now made in excess of $96 million.
