Description

Slot machines have been, since the 1970s, an integral element of the modern casino resort. From the early 1980s, they have garnered the bulk of gaming revenues in Nevada and in most American jurisdictions that have legalized casinos since then, they also produce the majority of gaming win. For that reason, they are an incredibly important part of any modern casino resort, and their management deserves documentation and investigation.

In 2016 and 2017, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Center for Gaming Research, in cooperation with the Oral History Research Center, conducted an oral history project focusing on slot managers. This was a follow-up to the previous year’s project, which documented the stories of table games managers. Excerpts from that interview project were published in Tales from the Pit: Casino Table Games Managers in Their Own Words. The current volume is a companion piece to that book, intended to complement it and to give a more complete side of the world of casino managers.
