Wow! I'm shocked it took people this long to SEE how they changed slots..
They used to be SLOTS OF FUN! You took a few hundred (1 or 2) and you had so much fun on machines you could not leave them to pee..
That was back in the 90's - (I can't even imagine how good it was prior to then)
Knickles became pennies (genious and "greed" too)
But the real change was in the small (or large to profit) changes they made to payouts.. Hitting "Tripple bars" used to mean another hour of playing time.. Three RED 7's forget it! YOU WON MONEY!
Now - You can WIN! (hear bells and music) and get this - LOSE ! Put three coins in and WIN "2" - THAT IS A LOSS PEOPLE! Cherries - "1" of em - way back when was still a WIN!
When they started TWEAKING the payouts - THey started BUILDING even bigger mouse traps. They sure are pretty! But get this - No, KNOW THIS! Anyone in there playing a lot of slots are nothing more than MOTHS stuck on the back porch light. "Stroke em and CHOKE em.." my slot host used to say - Give me a SLOT player for MANY days .. and he said.. "the casinos OWN them..."
Look back the cabs window the next time your leaving VEGAS.. They did not tear down all the old ones - and build the new MONSTERS on the strip on "WINNERS" They built them with MILLIONS of cashed paychecks! They built them on L O S E R S!
It's the basic - MOUSE TRAP.. Just all shiney and stuff..
I say - bring back the OLD SCHOOL -
Let players PLAY! Take their money - sure - But let them have 40 hours of insane fun before you TAKE IT ALL...
Then - Give them a STEAK mean - fill their belly for the long ride home.
Go back to the BENNY BINNION basics..
They will come back!
