Casinos meticulously monitor the performance of each slot machine. Those that consistently pay out a lower percentage of the money wagered than the casino’s target are candidates for replacement.

The casino aims to provide the illusion of winning while still ensuring the house edge. Slot machines that don’t adequately advance this objective get the ax. Some slot machines become customer favorites, however, attracting repeat business. These stalwarts may get repaired or upgraded rather than tossed.

Providing a quality gaming experience is key to keeping patrons enticed and purses open. While newness attracts initial interest, reliability and nostalgia retain loyal regulars. Slot machines are Cold, hard business decisions personified. Win or hit the road.
