Monkey Slot Machines - Coin Slots vs Card Slot

What can be more exciting than literally hearing the sound of money falling into your life? For many people the adrenalene rush involved with �hitting a jackpot� on a slot machine is directly linked to the sight and sounds that old-school, coin-operated slot machines provide.

Well, its looking like those days are becoming more and more like a trinket of nostagia from a by-gone era. Brian Casey, the marketing manager of  IGT, says that of  700,000 slot machines in North America, about 130,000 the are now coinless with those numbers also on the constant rise. As with every onslot of change (pardon the pun) there are always benefitial elaments to look foreward to.

When casinos surveyed slot machine players, they found that they where tired of the antiquated ways of the coin operated slot machines. One such annoyance was the wait time involve when it came to collecting larger jackpots, that the older slot machine were uncapaple of paying out in full. Another is simply the physical labor involved with lugging around buckets of change everywhere, not to mention have to touch hundred or coins that could have been who know�s where before they ended up inside the slot machine. Rightly, securing the role of hand-sanitizer as the casino patron saint.

Naturally, the casino�s aren�t just performing an act of self-sacrifice simply to please their patrons. The casinos are saving big bucks in reduced labor and up-keep fees for the new coinless slot machines.  The new slot machines work by getting a card issued by the casino wich you load cash onto, then the slot machine keeps track of your bank roll on your card and then you can cash out with the teller at any time. The other bonus is that since the system is competetely computerized, the casino can now, for the first time, know the exact amount of money in play at any given moment.

The casinos know the power of kitch of course, and are not  doing away with all of the coin slot machines retro charm. Manufacturers like WMS Gaming, Bally Gaming, and IGT have come up with ways to ttry not and alienate the die hard coin slot machine players by designing coinless machines that  blare the saratonin inducing  sound of coins jingling and clanging into the metal catch when the slot machine lands on a  winning combanation.
