Earlier, making alterations in a slot machine used to be quite a tough job

what with opening it, changing the computer chip inside, altering the glass display that demands the game’s theme. All these changes generally took almost 24 hours and would be extremely expensive, what with booking the parts required to recast the machine. But since the onset of modern technologies, the task of altering a slot machine happens in a comparatively short span of time, and costs almost nothing.

What’s with all the tinkering with slot machines?
Despite the gambling market going uphill day by day, the casino operators thirst for more of the customer’s money which they tend to spend on other commodities like food, clothes, accommodations, entertainment, etc. So, the operators have been relentlessly trying to improvise the slot machines to make them more profitable for casinos.
The main representative in a high-technology experiment that could be successful in altering the face of slot machines, and their insides too; is Mr. Beltram. He can reprogram the 1,790 slot machines on the casino floor, with just a few clicks of his mouse.
This concept is still in it’s testing period, since the gambling regulators think that if casino operators are granted the rights to alter slot machines sitting in their offices, it will be testing the customer’s confidence as well. If the state gambling regulators give green signal to this technology, the casino incharge will be able to control the slots from their offices, to serve different crowds- from the conventional players and regulars during the daytime, to younger tourists and people with bigger budgets at nighttime.

Computer science altering conventional gambling patterns
Since, the casino managers are now trying to widen their market towards the younger audience, it needs to add a touch of science in its conventional gaming methods. This means introduction of highly computerized slot machines that do not have the physical spinning reels or coin buckets. Players can now use their debit cards to collect the winning amount. Casinos are on a constant testing spree, introducing new and engaging technologies to make their casinos more appealing to the younger and modern audience.
Traditional players dubious about central controlled machines
As humans, we all tend to face some difficulties while trying to adapt to new things; be it new technologies or a new environment. Same is the case for the frequent slot payers, who tend to be ambivalent regarding the slot machines being controlled by casino managers. Although they did like the high definition videos and audios while playing, they do harbor concerns regarding their paybacks.
The casino operators claim that this introduction of new technology doesn’t mean they wish to change the odds in any game, but they still want a higher share of profit for themselves. Increasing the profit means making the games more appealing to the crowd, so that more and more people choose to play. This will, in turn, result in an increase of their revenues.
As a bottom line, the main concern of slot players is that the introduction of new technologies should also mean an increase in their paybacks.
