Penny Slot Machines Make More Money for Casinos Than Any Other Game
Don't let the name fool you: so-called "penny slots" are actually the most profitable games for the casino industry. Casino owners say the early 2000s recession is to thank for the rising popularity of the machines, which allow gamblers to wager only a penny to play (but most bet a lot more) Some casinos have more penny slot machines than any other denomination: for example, penny slots made up 70% the Atlantic Club Casino Hotel total slot machines in 2013.
Interesting! It makes sense though, since people may feel more comfortable betting small amounts at first, and then gradually increase their bets as they become more invested in the game.
