Mount Airy Fills Floor with Slot Machines

Tim Yahn has the enviable job of making sure that the Mount Airy Casino Resort is up and running for opening day October 15th. Will they be ready? Yahn believes they will be, and he is the casino’s Director of Slot Operations, so he probably knows what he is talking about.

A total of 2,525 slot machines have been installed on the casino floor, but it seems an odd number. When asked, Yahn simply says because that is all there was room for. But how the slot machines are set up is not quite as simple.

Yahn is on hand to make sure that each and every one of those slot machines is running up to snuff before that day arrives. He has other slot machine technicians and supervisors to help him make that happen, as each slot machine must be networked to the casino and to the PA Gaming Control Board’s facility as well.

Each slot machine has a particular place on the floor as well – keeping traffic moving and away from entrances and exits. Each of the more popular slot machines will be there as well, and things like the buffet and the attractions are all taken into consideration when deciding where to place the slot machines. There are even 45 attendants who wipe down each slot machine every other day – as it takes two days to get all of the machines cleaned from the construction debris. Will they be ready? It sure looks like it!
