America Stands Tall in The Wake of Hurricane Katrina. Slot Machines - Good and Bad Locations.
The Hurricane Katrina tragedy once again shows the strength, compassion, and toughness of the greatest nation in the world. Through all the hardships American people, companies, institutions, and governments are all working hard to solve the short term and long term needs of the Hurricane Katrina disaster victims.
Walmart the largest retail chain in the world has donated 15 Million Dollars to the relief effort. The Walton family has donated an additional 8 Million dollars. In addition Walmart has said that any Walmart employee who is out of work because of the disaster just needs to report to the nearest Walmart store after they resettle and they will have a Job.
Harrah's a large casino gaming company with casino's in New Orleans and Mississippi has announced all employees will be paid for up to 90 days. Colleges all over the country have agreed to admit students from the gulf area so they don't have to miss a semester or more of classes.
Many Cities across the country have stepped up and agreed to take some of the evacuees and provide them with food and shelter. Companies in these cities are offering jobs to the Hurricane Katrina Disaster victims.
Grade school children are adopting families and selling lemonade and cookies to raise money. Seniors with little resources are using donated wool to make blankets and sweaters and ponchos for the victims. People are lining up to donate blood, man phone lines and collection centers. Music concerts are being organized to raise money.
Even the international community is getting involved with assistance being offered by over 60 countries.
America you will not only get through this tragedy but you will emerge bigger stronger and prouder then before. New Orleans and the other great southern cities effected by this will never be the same but I know in my heart given time to heal and repair they will be even Better then before.

Although no one will ever truly know where the casinos are likely to place the loosest slots, we do have some suggestions based on research, staff experience in casinos, and talking to various casino personnel. These suggestions are simply that: suggestions. They may or may not apply to a particular casino. Plus, casinos are notoriously subject to changing their procedures if the players get too lucky!
THE GOOD LOCATIONS FOR SLOTS
Here's where our research and experience indicate that the best machines may be located:
* One row in from the major aisles. Lots of people can still
hear the jackpots and the casino avoids customers walking down the aisle with no intention of playing slots except for the odd coin or two on the run.* Near food and snack bars. The reasoning here is that the sound of jackpots will encourage people to eat faster and get out to play the slots.
* Generally, any location that is highly visible from other slot machines. People tend to spend more dollars when they see other slot players winning.
THE BAD LOCATIONS FOR SLOTS
Here too, the suggestions, while based on research and experience, may or may not apply to the casino you are in. With that disclaimer, here is where we feel the tight machines are located:
* Near table games. People at table games, especially blackjack, have no intention of playing slots and the noise of jackpots going off will simply irritate them and perhaps cause them to leave. This same rule applies to machines near the sports betting areas.
* Near show or ticket lines. People in these lines are not going to get out of line to play slots. For the most part they are done gambling for that time and the sound of jackpots is wasted on them.
* Any remote or low traffic areas. Remember, casinos like for the most people possible to see a jackpot when it's won to encourage them to play.
