Quote of the Day

“You’re not going to believe it, but those cherries, bars and bells were introduced in the 1880s. We still haven’t changed them. They’re silently telegraphing a message when millennials walk through the casino floor. What it’s saying is, ‘This is not for you. This is an artifact from a bygone era.’ When you look at the console where players are now conditioned to play with a touchscreen or with augmented reality or virtual reality, when players today see these kinds of consoles, to them it looks like something that was designed in the Soviet Union in the mid-1980s.” — Vaporized: Solid Strategies for Success in a Dematerialized World author Rob Tercek, speaking to the attendees at the American Gaming Association‘s Innovation Day, held in Las Vegas this week.
