Slot Machine Competition Heats Up

With new technology coming, and more and more companies chomping at the bit to introduce bigger and better options for their slot machines, operators can really sit back and wait for the slot machine giants to come to them – and come to them they are.

Bally has already introduced 20 and 26 inch screens for their slot machines, which make the traditional 19 inch screens look puny next to them. As soon as the software companies started offering widescreen versions of their games, Bally was quick to react with their wide screen versions of their slot machines.

Experts say that the new slot machines are already performing 30-50% better than their predecessors, and that the games just look nicer. They say that just to look at the screen of the slot machine is to enter into another world – a clearer brighter world – than before.

Not to be outdone, International Game Technology has listened to the call for community gaming. They also offer wide screen slot machines, but they also offer slot machines with shared bonus rounds where gamblers that are seated next to each other can compete together for a bonus or they can compete against each other.

They are getting a lot of attention for this move, as it really has not been done before, and many think it is positively revolutionary. The first one they offered was the Wheel of Fortune Super Spin slot machine that was designed to draw a crowd, so that they can all play together. They are focusing on using the spectacle of watching the big wheel spin to bring in more crowds, and is has been hugely successful so far.
