Slot-O-Matic Instant Favorite
The newest slot machine on the block is already a popular one. The online casino WinADay.com says that those people that have tried it, and there have been a lot, have absolutely loved it. It is quickly becoming the most popular online slot machine that they offer. It would seem that bigger is not always better.
The simple slot machine is a return to the basics for Slotland, as they didn’t try to reinvent the game; they tried to improve it by making it simpler. That idea has catapulted the slot machine to fame and more people are trying it and saying that it is exactly what they wanted. All of these slot machine manufacturers have been killing themselves to come up with amazing graphics, sounds, etc. and all they needed to do was take it down a notch instead of up.
As soon as the slot machine was launched, players seemed to flock to it. It quickly became the most popular slot machine within the group of six slot machines and video poker games that the site offered. In its first week it blew away the Wheeler Dealer video poker game – which up until that point had been the most popular one.
They say that their lead programmer came up with the idea of a simple slot machine and they decided to give it a try. They wanted to take it back to a simpler time as well and they think that this had a lot to do with it. There were people just looking for simple in today’s economy and they found it.
Slot Machine Coup
InterAmerican Gaming, Inc., also known as IAG, is pleased to announce that their subsidiary, IAG Peru S.A.C., which is also known as IAG Peru, was lucky enough to get the contract for installing slot machines in Peru for the Fantasy Club Del Peru SA – also known as Fantasy. There were many slot machine companies vying for the contract, and they could not be happier that they were chosen.
They will be installing eighty slot machines at the club locations throughout the country of Peru. The company says that they are excited to be working with the Fantasy Casino Group as they have been working hard to get where they are. As soon as they received their license, they immediately got to work trying to get more slot machine installations, and so were grateful that their hard work was starting to pay off.
They have had their license for almost a year, getting it in March of 2008. The Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism gave them the license to be able to operate a slot machine and gaming company in the country.
They will be installing the slot machines under the various names that Fantasy goes by in the country. There is “Texas Station” in Lima, “Solid Gold” in Chiclayo, Chincha and Trujillo, “Monos Dorados” in Huacho and Zarate, and “Slot City” in Chiclayo. They say that they have already installed 24 slot machines in Chiclayo, and are expected to install the rest within the month.
Harrah’s Owes the Money
There are constantly problems with the large jackpots that slot machines pay out. There are electronic problems all the time that show that a certain jackpot should be paid out and then it turns out that the slot machine made an error and now it shouldn’t be. Some people take whatever the casino offers them in those cases and then move along and forget about it. Others choose to take the casino to court and say that they want whatever it is that the slot machine says they won.
On the slot machines it clearly states that in the case of a glitch with the machine that the casino is not responsible for paying it. But this does not stop people from fighting it anyway. But once in a while you hear a case where you end up thinking that perhaps this person has a case, and therefore the casino should pay – and that case is Angela Domino.
Domino was playing the nickel slots in May 2007 at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City. She hit the jackpot on the slot machine and it said that she had won $86,000. However, the casino then told her that someone else had just won it at another casino and therefore they were only paying her $20,000. They said that the slot machine should have reset itself, but that it didn’t.
She took them to court and an arbitration panel just ruled that Harrah’s owes her the other $66,000 that she is due. However, as the ruling is non binding, either side can reject it so she probably won’t be seeing her money anytime soon.
Bangkok Cracking Down on Slot Machines
According to the Office for the Prevention and Suppression of Corruption in the State Sector, police are going to start cracking down on slot machines like they never have before. They are going to make sure that there are no illegal slot machines and have been given two weeks to ensure that they are all gone.
The police are going to make sure that there are no slot machines set up near schools and universities through police bribery or lax law enforcement, and they are starting with it immediately. Their secretary general Tharit Pengdit said that during recent inspections they discovered how wide spread the slot machine problem had become, and that they were going to be in trouble themselves if they did not get rid of them within 15 days. They will have action taken against them for negligence of duty if any are discovered after that time.
They are worried about teenagers spending their parents’ money at the slot machines as there are more than 100 of them surrounding the educational facilities in the city. There have been many complaints sent in to Justice Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga who said that something is going to have to be done about it.
He is especially concerned about the fact that many of them are only there because police officers have been accepting bribes to look the other way. He says that they have been accepting kickbacks to the tune of roughly 3,000 baht a month.
Tax Breaks for Casinos
There are quite a few Hoosiers who are just not thrilled with the General Assembly’s latest attempt to keep them from getting the same tax breaks as some people. The assembly voted to allow tax breaks for the slot machine casinos, but not for the other businesses in the area. Rep. Eric Turner tried to get them a break but was unsuccessful.
Turner says that if they are going to give slot machines a break, they should give that same deal to all of the other businesses that are out there trying to make ends meet. He was trying to get tax breaks for those businesses that were struggling; instead the slot machines will get the deal that no one else will.
The slot machine casinos were getting a tax break because they agreed to bring in the casinos and then the economy went under leaving them holding the bag. They had all kinds of loans and things out there that enabled them to bring in the slot machines, but then were unable to pay back those loans at the current rate.
But smaller businesses say that they are struggling too – and that the slot machine casinos should not get all of the help – not when there are so many of them that need it. They say that they should be offered the same dispensations, and Turner tried to get it for them but they were defeated 56-39. Turner says that he understands the problems that the slot machine casinos are facing, but he is responsible for his constituents as well.

Court Date Set
The Laurel Racing Association just went to court so as to discuss why they should be given reconsideration on their slot machine bid. The company submitted a proposal to bring slot machines to Maryland but the state would not consider the proposal because of fees that they refused to pay.
The state said that the slot machine proposals should include an upfront fee of $3 million per 500 requested slot machines. The racing association was requesting 4,750 slot machines and therefore their payment would be $28.5 million. They did not include the fee for their proposal. The track said that it was unconstitutional for them to ask for the fee when they could not guarantee that the money would be refunded under the law that was passed.
The state’s attorney simply said that the group refused to play by the rules and therefore their proposal was not considered. The state said that the law did not preclude the possibility of the refund, and that they had a chance to challenge the bidding process and did not do so which is why their bid was not considered.
The track said that there were local zoning rules that had to be covered before they should have to give up that kind of money. They said that if the slot machines were not allowed in they would have paid millions for nothing. They also said that there was no wording that said that they would get their money back should the slot machines not be allowed.
