When most people think of casino gaming floors, they conjure up images of blackjack tables, roulette wheels, and lots of slot machines. In our experience, slots are very popular and are a primary driver of casino revenue. According to PBS, 68% of gamblers play slot machines more than the other games available, making slots the most popular form of casino gaming. Here's why slots are so popular at casinos.

Simple

The great thing about slot machines is they are very easy to play. The traditional one-armed slot just requires you to pull the lever and wait to see what happens. You might also have buttons that you can push to stop the wheels and reels from turning. The general premise is very simple, which makes it easy for people to understand and have the confidence to play. It's not a learned skill, like craps, blackjack, or poker. We encourage everyone to visit us to see what our slots look like.

Exciting

Modern slot machines have lots of colors and video monitors, and they make very cool sounds that create an immersive experience for players. A casino floor with lots of these machines also creates excitement that encourages people to try their luck playing the slots or other types of casino gaming. When someone hits a jackpot or wins an especially big payout, many slots make loud noises that attract the attention of other players as well as casino personnel. When other players see someone win a jackpot, they often get excited and are motivated to try to win, too.

Anonymous

Playing slots is a relatively anonymous thing to do inside a casino. It's just the player and the slot machine, so there is no way to make potentially embarrassing mistakes like when learning a table game. The rules of play and potential payouts are printed on the machines, so players can read them and review them as needed without worrying about delaying other players.

Constantly Improving

Slot machines are no longer just a lucky person against the machine. Many now incorporate skills-based gaming that might require playing a short video game or some other skills-based activity that makes it possible for skilled players to win more money. Skills-based slots are fun, and they encourage skilled players to try their luck.
