The Global Gaming Expo (G2E), held earlier this month in Las Vegas, gave gamblers the opportunity to voice their opinions to casino managers and slot machine manufacturers, it has been revealed.

An hour long session saw over 40 gamers offer their thoughts on the state of their local casinos, with some interesting insights being given.

Complaints included the excess of junk mail being delivered to patrons’ homes, and special offers that are either simply too cheap or too reliant on the gambler rushing to the casino before the offer runs out, the Las Vegas Sun newspaper reports.

Others grievances include the mention that slot machines are incorrectly advertised as new products. But even true new technology aroused the suspicion of one gambler who was concerned about casino managers having the power to adjust payback percentages per game/player.

“It sounds like they’re trying to get people to gamble as much as possible. That’s not going to keep me coming back,” said Milwaukee resident Dick Doria, speaking to the Las Vegas Sun.

In an unusual move, some of the latest technology on display at G2E was not to do with gambling, but rather with the removal of second-hand smoke from casinos.
