Faced with an economic crisis that never ends, based casinos are becoming increasingly difficult to attract players. While a few years ago, casinos were still open and were even considered to be institutions that do not know the crisis, it is clear that at present, many gambling establishments are experiencing Danger!

But if there is a sector that is even more affected than others is indeed the sector slots! Attendance on the slot machines continue to erode every month, while attendance at the gaming tables do not désamplifient.

Why do slot machines have less traffic you it?

Quite simply, the economic downturn affects mainly the less wealthy population and may even be considered before it touches, from a psychological point of view, much of the “pool player” slot machines. Slot machines, devices that were invented over a century ago by an inventor of genius, have always been aimed at the general public and therefore all people who usually have the habit of learning at the end of months salary. The casinos have always had an image of luxury, which explains that in times of crisis, attendance tends to fall, not only because of the economic downturn but also because of a lack of confidence on the part players of slot machines.

The other explanation is simply passed legislation recently that has hit the casino sector. Usually, traditional casinos are separated into two compartments: the room devoted to table games, and the room of slot machines. The engine room is designed in a much wider audience that the hall table games: very low fees, no wagering, … and thus a room that is intended for the general public . Off in 2006, French law requires gaming establishments to verify the identity of customers at the entrance of the casino, a move that has certainly not been appreciated by some customers of slot machines, which can easily imagine that in some cases, lack of vigilance, clients are minors. Without the minor client, slot machines (where the stake is often very small: just a few cents) has lost some of their customers. Then in 2008, a new law will deal a fatal blow in the casinos: the ban on smoking in public places. A law that will be very expensive to casinos since customers generally liked to be able to go to a casino while still being able to smoke. Then the latter explanation is the rise of online casinos that are becoming more aggressive, especially at the slot machines. What a difference between a physical slot (in a traditional casino) and a digital slot machine (in a casino)? No! And therein lies the problem of slot machines in gambling establishments.

The large casino groups in France have also understood. The Partouche group and other groups such as group Tranchant longer hesitate to interconnect slots casinos between different groups to create a “mega-jackpot of several million euros to come play slot machines have become part of the “millionaire’s dream of all casino players.” Thus, a Marseille player has won a jackpot of 5.5 million euros.

The future great wave of slot machines? Without doubt, the interconnection of slot machines between different groups, and not only between different casinos in the same group. Because in the end, all physical operators in France are affected by this problem.
