SlotManagerJ FEATURES 12 COVER STORY: Going Strong At 30 Three decades ago, a fledging Atlantic City casino industry got its start, and Mac Seelig and his AC Coin and Slot Service was there along the way to help it grow. The family owned-andoperated firm has flourished in the 30 years since it opened for business in July 1978, but one thing has remained consistent, and that's the company's commitment to exceeding customer expectations and never leting a client down. CONTENTS ANUARY/FEBRUARY 2009 12 16 GAME CHANGER: IGT’s REELdepth IGT’s REELdepth suite of games creates something new and different for casino operators and players alike. What sets REELdepth apart from other games is its use of Multi-Layer Display technology. The games are multigame capable, which allows players to switch between virtual spinning-reel games, video slots and video poker — all on the same machine. Operators using these games can configure their floors in a matter of minutes, not days, because when they invest in REELdepth games, they no longer have to budget to change out glass, reel strips or physically remove the machines, which are sb-ready. 18 OPERATIONS: Where There's a Will, There's a Way With the economy in a tailspin, slot manufacturers are stepping up to the plate with more attractive and flexible finance offers than ever. From their perspective, it’s a way to help their customers get the latest slot models on their floors, and an opportunity to showcase what their games can do. And once the economy blooms again, they hope they’ll be in good position to land future purchases. 16 22 GAMES: G2E 2008 Slot Report A review of some of the latest and greatest in gaming machines from the 2008 Global Gaming Expo.
