well this is a nice twist, skill based slots... why not, at least this move offers the chance to bring back someone else besides the usual faces of drunk degenerates in the casinos. anything that is skill based is always more welcome than luck based imho. signing off, skilfully drunk pochui.

This sounds like a very good innovation and i am fascinated to see how this game works. Slots games have never been my forte but this type of game, with a little skill involved, seems right up my street

honestly, that doesnt sound like a casino strategy to let people win by skill, more like a "marketing-strategy" to fool some people, in faith, they could win something by having skills. makes me laugh....without to even know anything about this "new" slot machine. i normaly keep my mouth shut before i get to know something, but come on, we all know casinos lmfao...
It would be interesting to play those slots ... but how can there be a strategy game? I personally never liked slots and if they played only drunk))) if there iozhno win observing what the rules, then it unprofitable venture .. I do not think that the casino will do it at a loss for them

Never expected to see slots like this. It sounds interesting for sure. So if you are not good at this game you better stay away, sine the payouts are according to the performance in your specific slot. Its gonna be tested from many video gamers...

I don´t know what this means exactly, but in my opinion it was a interesting new kind of Slot. And the test in the Atlantic City Casinos will give us more informations about these Slots. But what kinf of informations did the skill Slot machines have?
I think it's a good idea... but how much luck and how much skill is involved? I doubt the skill part is going to be more than 10% in my opinion. because if it was 100% skills and 0% luck then they would lose sooo much money. The retards would get frustrated and stop playing and the good players would keep playing untill they break the bank... ^^
The only skill required to actually play video slots well is the ultimate skill to realize when to walk away from them. Either when you won big or just decent, or you just lost a little or break even - you gotta know how and when to stop before the algorythm - which controlls these programs - taking all your money away...

I think Caesars Entertainment is planning to introduce these skill-based slot machines in Las Vegas casinos as well if the experiment in Atlantic City casinos goes well and these machines prove to be a decent profit generator for the company.
