Ask an avid slot machine player what the best sound in
the world is, and you are likely to hear the response: “the sound of rain.”
Does this mean that slot machine players like the sound of summer
rainstorms? Not quite. In slot machine terminology, the “sound of rain”
refers to the sound of coins falling out of a slot machine after a win or
jackpot. But some slot machine enthusiasts are dismayed as paper slot
machines make the “sound of rain” an obsolete concept.
Robert Brownstein, a slot machine enthusiasts states that beyond simply
winning the jackpot, he plays to the slot machines for the visceral
experience—so that he can actually hear, touch, etc the coins as they fall
from the machine. So what does his gaming future look like? A survey of the
trends in casinos around the United States shows that many casinos are
rapidly switching all of their slot machines to coin-less, paper operated
slot machines.
But for those concerned that the slot machines will be too difficult to
operate in the future, the new slot machines are surprisingly easy to
operate. All a slots player needs to do is insert the paper currency into
the slot machine rather than inserting coins and tokens. Then, when the
player is finished on the slot machine, any amount still left over is
deposited onto a bar-coded card for the player to take to a different slot
machine, or to the cashier.
