Slot Machines Had to be Tested First

The Gulfstream Park Racing and Casino’s slot machines had to submit to various state tests before they could be allowed to open. They had 516 slot machines, all of which needed to be tested before the casino could open its doors to the public. They had a gala planned, and were sure that their slot machines would pass the testing, but it still had to be done.

Some of the testing that had to go on at the slot machine casino was the slot machines themselves, as well as the employees. The state watched to see how the employees reacted to bomb threats, counterfeit currency, hold-ups, and handbag thefts. As they finished the testing, the state found areas that needed correcting, but still nothing that seemed as if it would hold up the opening of the slot machine casino.

Once all of the testing was completed, Gulfstream won the state’s approval to open their slot machine parlor, and have their gala opening as planned. Locals are excited, as they know that half of every dollar generated by the slot machines will go directly to Florida’s schools. The state thinks that there should be somewhere around $209 million in slot machine revenue going to public education once all 1,500 slot machines are up and running.
