With temporary slot machines and already operating in
Pennsylvania, the Meadows is not far behind. Like a few of the casinos
already operating slot machines, the Meadows will use a temporary facility
as a way to bring in slots revenue before the main facility is actually
completed. The temporary slot machines are really great for the casinos
because they bring in slots players and get to use their revenue to offset
the costs of building the casino—and to offset the $50 million each new slot
machines location had to pay the state for their slot machines license.
The Meadows isn’t the only one operating the temporary slot machines
though—and they are not the only ones considering innovative new designs for
the slot machines and for the casino. In addition to the new grandstand and
gambling hall (this is where the slot machines will be located), The Meadows
is bringing in themes and new names.
But with all of this attention to the slot machines, and the anticipated
business the slot machines will bring in as soon as each casino opens, many
wonder how the casinos are going to be able to handle the business. Though
the casinos have some high profile names attached to them—we’re talking
executives who run the major casinos in Las Vegas and across the U.S., the
majority of those actually in the casinos operating the slot machines and
running the casino at the location will have never had experience in the
industry. Does this bode a disaster for the casinos? Probably not, if the
temporary facilities are any indication of how the full-functioning casinos
will operate—so far there have been no major complications at the casinos as
a result of inexperience.
