Slots Alone Won’t Keep Winning Players Over<\/h2>\n
Slot machines have long been the lifeblood of casinos. But BMM is convinced that the industry must innovate to stay relevant.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s next for the industry is difficult to predict as patron demographics and demands shift, as well as how technology develops.”<\/p>\n

The white paper adds, “What is certain, is that the industry can no longer hope that casino floors will attract and retain tomorrow\u2019s patrons.\u201d<\/p>\n
Floyd Barroga, VP of BMM’s technical compliance department, added more context to the future industry goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuccess requires promulgation of statutes and regulations which will encourage the integration of compelling product through the execution of leading-edge design.”<\/p>\n
He continued, “Today the industry is at a crossroad, and the stakeholders can use this opportunity to collaborate.”<\/p>\n
How would Slot Machine Sports Betting Work?<\/h2>\n
BMM Testlabs’ white paper doesn’t offer a lot of ideas on how the slots\/sports betting terminals would work. But I assume that they would simply be slot machines where one could also bet on sports.<\/p>\n
Of course, plenty of gaming sites already allow this to a degree. You can bet on sports and play slots at the same sites.<\/p>\n
However, nothing like this is currently available in land-based casinos. You have to visit a sportsbook to place bets and sit at a slot machine to play slots.<\/p>\n
Other future suggestions outlined by the paper include localized climate control and biometric identification at games throughout casinos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
