Gaming Summit Shows New Slots

It is always a blast to check out the newest slot machines, and those in attendance at the Southern Gaming Summit’s expo got an eye full. There were many manufacturers in attendance this year, and lots of slot machines to check out. These types of venues are always great to try and get an idea of what slot machines manufacturers are envisioning for the year ahead.

The newest slot machines, as well as table games and the biggest and brightest technologies were on display for all to see. Shuffle Master was the most noticeable absence in that they are rumored to be having some problems. Their not being there had many questioning what might be going on with the company.

Of those that were there, server based slot machines seem to tbe the way of the future. Everyone was talking about the newest server technologies, and how the older slot machines would be impacted by it. However, slot machine makers themselves seemed to say that replacement demand is not what is has been rumored to be.

They say that the transition for most casinos and slot machine parlors will be a gradual process, nothing like the recent demand for the ticket-in/ticket-out slot machines that most, if not all, slot machine parlors and casinos have now switched to. They say that most casinos will replace probably around a quarter of their gaming room floor slot machines at a time, with an eventual overhaul of all of the slot machines.
