Slot Machines Turning Around? 

There are so many reports these days of slot machines not making the money that they used to that to hear that they might be turning around is good news. So many states across the country now depend on slot machine revenue that when those numbers drop so does the money that they have in their budgets for much needed programs. The slot machines are quite often the biggest money maker that a state has – so when their numbers drop they have to start making cuts that no one wants them to make.  

But a recent study says that slot machines might actually be on the rise again. They looked at the numbers and where the slot machines were this year as compared to last and they say that there is an improvement. They say that the amount of money that the slot machine revenue was down this year is still down from where they used to be – but it is not as big of a jump as it was from the year before.

They look at the numbers of slot machines and how much each of them made two years ago. Then they compared those numbers and how much the revenue dropped between that year and last year. Then they compared it to how much they dropped this year, and they said that slot machines are not losing as much money as they were. 

They agreed that they were losing money – just not as much. This they argue means that people are starting to play the slot machines again, and those people who are playing are doing so with more money than they were. They are still losing players – just not as many and to as high of a degree.
