Slingo slot machine comes to South Florida and the Isle
Slingo, already a known name among gamblers, now has a slot machine.
The Isle Casino and Racing in Pompano Beach reports hot action at the game.
One criticism: They have only three games.
Isle GM Michael Bloom says they "don't want to dilute the value" of the game. I take that to mean that if they have a bunch of them, then there would be less interest.
Somehow, though, I think of the line in the baseball book Ball Four, when Jim Bouton asks the trainer why they don't have more milk. The response: "If I brought in more milk, you guys would just drink it all."

My guess would be they have to pay royalties on the machines.
Wheel of Fortune is the only game the Seminoles don't own the machines, they have to lease them. Wheel of Fortune is still considered one of the most popular EVER, and as a result they cost the casino more to have.
