Blast From the Past

I am cleaning out my computer files and found this old article. How old? I’m not sure since there was no date on it. In fact I don’t know whether it was ever published. But by some of the details – and the fact I hadn’t changed “slot club” to “players club” – I think it was written many years ago. But it proves that, although much does change in the casino world, so much stays the same! 

         If I Ran a Slot Club

If I ran a slot club, I’d run it in the morning, I’d run it in the evening, all over this land. My apologies to the folk song, but I’d institute so many user-friendly and consumer-kindly policies that it would be the most popular slot club at any casino in the country, and all the other slot clubs would have to follow my lead to compete.

First, I’d put the club booth in a very easy-to-find section of the casino, probably near the main entrance, near the front desk. Why hide it in a corner? I’d hang plenty of signs directing players to it. I’d WANT people to join.

I’d consider every slot club employee a casino host.
