\"\"Green screens and voice-overs are often saved for making movies. But this is exactly how slots are made at Everi.<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas-based slots maker creates modern slot machines that go far beyond the cherries and BAR symbols of yesteryear.<\/p>\n

That said, let’s cover the process Everi uses to make its games while also discussing how their prime location.<\/p>\n

Making Slots involves Composing Music and Working on a Green Screen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood, the Everi office has all the amenities needed to make hit slots games. This includes a sound studio, tools to build slot machines, and a green-screen room.<\/p>\n

Bradley Rose, senior vice-president of game development, spoke about this with the Chicago Tribune<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We’re drawing, animating, we’re filming stuff on a green screen,” said Rose.<\/p>\n

“We’re composing music in-house and doing voice-overs. And we put it all together and package it up into a slot machine.”<\/p>\n

The company recently launched a couple of cartoon-based slot machines in Richie Rich and Underdog. They’ve also developed a game based on the 1942 film Casablanca.<\/p>\n

Perfect Location for a Slots Company<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Everi’s location is key because they’re surrounded by a number of gambling establishments.<\/p>\n

“This location has 26 casinos around it within four hours,” Rose explained. “It’s very close to a lot of what we need to see.”<\/p>\n

Everi is even able to test some of its new products at local venues. These include Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in Milwaukee and Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, Mich.<\/p>\n

They can then visit the casinos and see how their machines are being received.<\/p>\n

Another thing that Everi’s West Loop location is good for includes attracting local software developers. Their 50 employees can keep themselves entertained during downtime with a lounge filled with games.<\/p>\n

With a solid work environment and casino-central location, Everi seems on the right path towards success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
