Michael
Jackson’s Slots
One
can only assume that it is a combination
of greed on the part of the relatives
and the manufacturers that led Bally
Technologies to come up with a Michael
Jackson themed slot machine. The slot
machine will be coming to the Las Vegas
Resorts as soon as it is on the gaming
floor list, and will be unveiled at the
Global Gaming Expo this month. However,
many want to know what is the purpose to
something like this?
There
are many that are upset by the usage of
the “King of Pop” in something like a
slot machine and they say that
Jackson
would never have approved such a thing.
They argue that the family is simply
trying to make money off of the name and
that Bally should be ashamed of
themselves for allowing his name to be
exploited in such a way. They argue that
it is demeaning and that someone should
stop the slot machines from coming to
fruition.
But
then there are those that say that it is
a tribute to the late King and that this
is a way for his fans to remember him.
They say that the songs that are going
to be featured in the game – “Billie
Jean,” “Bad,” “Beat It,” etc. are all
fan favorites and they expect that it
will be very popular among those who
grew up with Jackson on their
televisions. They agree that yes, there
is people making money off of his
memory, but they argue that there are
too many people who will enjoy spending
a little time with Michael that it won’t
matter if it is in the form of a slot
machine or something else.
