Talking Slot Machines?

So you play the slot machines because you like the quiet of it all – you don’t want to play the tables because you would have to talk to people, and horrors, they would talk back – sound familiar? Well, unfortunately for some people at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, their slot machines are soon going to be talking to them as well.

Seriously, Bally Technologies has come up with a way to have your slot machine talk to you, so don’t plan on playing alone for too much longer. Casino management thinks it is a great idea, and is installing the slot machines with new technology that gives them the ability to talk to you, congratulate you, even suggestive sell to you all through your slot machine.

All 7,200 slot machines at Foxwoods will be outfitted with the new technology, iVIEW from Ballly. The new slot machine system will read your player’s card that you put into the slot and personalize your experience based upon your preferences. They will know what shows you like, what slot machines you usually play, what you buy – basically everything you use your card for.

The slot machine technology will take that information and greet you by name when you sit down, suggest a drink, give you some sort of perk on special holidays and birthdays, even going so far as to offer video of a concert they may have gone to. The slot machine experience is about to change drastically, maybe for the better – maybe not.
