Strictly Slots June 2008 Issue

I just received the June 2008 issue of Strictly Slots magazine.

Here are some of the highlights:

8th Annual Best of Slots Award Ballot
Strictly Slots has an annual award for various slot categories that are determined by their readership. The ballot for 2008 is in the June edition.

Taste of Havana Slot Room
A short piece about a new slot room at the Atlantic City Tropicana that is themed to resemble Havana, Cuba. Interesting to see if the themed slot room catches on.

Edge of Innovation
An good interview with Rob Bone, Vice President of Marketing for WMS. A good read to gain some insight into WMS gaming platforms.

Hall of Fame
Sphinx is featured here as the first slot to offer a bonus round.

Slot Spotlight
Brief reviews of the following video slots in this month's Slot Spotlight:
Bank Buster from Aristocrat Technologies
Golden Adventure from Atronic Americas
Houdini from WMS Gaming
N.Y. Gold from Bally
The Price is Right Cliff Hangers from IGT

The Art of the Jackpot
An interesting article from many of the art directors from the major Video Slot manufacturers.

Perfectly Frank
Frank Legato posits that "winning" is the primary motivator for slot players.
