Gambling on
New Slot Machines
Slot machine
manufacturers know exactly how to keep
their clients happy. They offer them a
variety of slot machines to choose from,
and then they continually change them
and make them even more exciting for
them to check out. They try out
different themes and pay outs and even
forms for the slot machine itself – and
if it works they keep it and make it
better, and if it doesn’t they yank it
and give it the overhaul that it needs.
They know that if you hit that
particular button for someone with a
slot machine they will come back again
and again, and that means more money for
them and for their casino.
No where can you see
the new efforts by slot machine
manufacturers than at the 2009 Global
Gaming Expo in
Las Vegas. This
is the opportunity for slot machine
manufacturers to check out what their
competition is offering and to show
everyone what they have been working on
as well. Anyone attending the slot
machine expo will tell you that it is
simply amazing to see the various
offerings that players have to choose
from.
This year saw two big
favorites released – “American Idol” and
“Sex and the City.” The two slot
machines proved to be very popular
offerings at the expo, and one can be
sure that casinos around the world are
going to be snatching them up so that
they can offer them to their clients.
The “American Idol” one allows you to
choose to be one of the three judges -
Simon Cowell, Kara DioGuardi or Randy
Jackson. It even plays video clips of
contestants that were on the show – both
the good ones and the bad ones.
“Sex
and the City” comes to players via
International Game Technology – and it
has the subtitle “Change of a Dress”
which is extremely clever. Mr. Big was
even on hand to show off the slot
machine, which in and of itself will
definitely help sell slot machines off
of the floor.
