Some Benefit No Matter What

Pleasantville, New Jersey, slot machine maker AC Coin and Slot is not worried about the current economic crisis. As a matter of fact, as far as they are concerned, business is booming. They say that even though the economy is in terrible shape and that the casinos aren’t making as much money as they usually do, that they are doing just fine.

They say that they have seen it before where the economy takes a downward turn and people don’t play as much slot machines as before, but it always turns itself around. They say that “the operators usually figure it out.” They seem impervious to the trend as they gear up to boost production of their slot machines by 30% next year.

They say that there is always room for more slot machines, more ideas of ways to play. Jeff Seelig, AC Coin’s CFO says that their only goal is to make the best slot machines in the country. They have to create slot machines that make their casinos a lot of money, and thus they will buy more.

But they aren’t completely free of the economic woes, as they had to lay off 30 employees this year, although Seelig says that this is an attempt to get leaner and more efficient. The family business is currently in their 30th year of operations, and is not showing any signs of stopping.

The amount of gaming that is out there has allowed the slot machine manufacturer to put their slot machines in more than 280 casinos across the US, Canada and the Caribbean.
