Slot
Machine Fever
Everywhere you look these days someone
is petitioning someone else to get slot
machines. Either they want them at their
racetrack, or they want to build a new
casino, it doesn’t matter – people want
slot machines.
Anyone in the business will tell you
that slot machines are the biggest money
maker in any casino. They bring in
billions of dollars of revenue every
year, which makes for a very profitable
business. They are entertaining as heck,
and anyone who plays them can tell you
they are also very addictive.
How many times have you sat down in
front of a slot machine planning on
playing $10 or $20 dollars, just to kill
some time? Next thing you know, you are
playing $40, maybe $50 because you are
sure that the next time you pull that
handle or push that button, that you are
going to be the big winner.
This happens all over the world. Experts
say that we have so any addicts lately
because of the way the slot machines are
now created. They are programmed to look
like you have a better chance of winning
than you actually do. You will play and
play until all of your money is gone,
and chances are that whatever little bit
you won you put back into the slot
machines.
Can they save an ailing business?
Absolutely. Can they guarantee that you
will win big? Absolutely not. Will they
take everything you own, including the
shirt off of your back? Absolutely.
