New Slot Machines for at Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park Racing track and Casino is happy to announce that they have purchased over 400 new slot machines. They were bought from Gtech Holdings Corp, creator of lottery equipment. These new "Pompeii" slots promise to increase the casino and the state's revenues because each machine is said to take in about $1000 daily, compared with the older machines that bring in only $300.

The new slot machines are more thrilling because they have higher quality graphics and better audio-visual features. The designer of the machine, Gtech, is trying to acquire the slot machine creator from Europe called Gauselmann Group's Atronic companies. They have already bought Spielo Manufacturing from Canada.

888 doing very well

Since entering the London Stock Exchange in September, online casino and poker room 888 has generated over $70 million, a 56 percent increase. At first people did not think the online casino would do well because gambling company Partygaming was having trouble increasing its revenues.

Chief executive for 888 , John Anderson, believes this type of growth will remain steady. Poker alone generated over $29 million which is a 175 percent increase for the gaming giant.

I'm glad to see that the Hilton Casino in Atlantic City supports breast cancer research. They lit up a pink ribbon on the side of the building to support the cause.
