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.
