United Way Benefits from Slot Machine Test

What a better way to try out your slot machines than by running them for charity? That is exactly what happens next month as the Presque Isle Downs choose to test out their slot machines. The casino is encouraged not to accept the money from the slot machine test and instead donate it to charity – the United Way of Erie County just happens to be the beneficiary of the revenue.

It is a little weird for an organization that prides themselves on those that are having a string of bad luck, but that is what they will be hoping for next month as the patrons put their money in the slot machines. They will get the revenue from 2,000 slot machines for two days – February 11th and 13th.

The casino must run two test days to ensure that the slot machines are working correctly and that all employees know what they are doing – and that they seem to be able to handle themselves with customers. It will be an “invitation only” event to be one of the first people to play the slot machines, and the Board will then approve them for opening once they see how they perform.
