Personalized Slot Machines 

Casinos are changing the way you look at slot machines. They are also changing the way you play slot machines. They are now looking to get rid of the slot machines and replace them with handheld computers that you can load any game you want on to play. No more waiting in lines to get the one you want, you just check out a terminal and play whichever one you want. 

The casinos think this new way of playing will make slot machine gamblers feel that they are getting personalized service, and getting whatever they want gambling wise. "Generally speaking, in the history of our industry, slot machines have been discrete devices that stand alone," said Mark Lipparelli, EVP of gaming at Bally Gaming and Systems. "Lately, there has been an increasingly large emphasis on system-driven boxes, which are dynamic.... We believe that that is the direction of our industry."  

They can even customize them to your card. Let’s say you like a particular game, when you get your tablet you can put in your card and the game you like most automatically comes up – and it can recommend games to you based on your preferences that you might want to play. The machines aren’t out yet, they have to go through rigorous testing by the state regulatory agencies in Vegas, Atlantic City, etc., but know that the new slot machines are not long off in the future – the casinos can’t wait to get their hands on them.
