    • PureDepth creation gives morphing abilities to slot machines

    By Darren Murph | March 18, 2007

    Filed under: , ,

    It looks like the glory days of walking into a casino, hacking a slot machine, and leaving a wealthy individual is over, as not only are “software glitches” leading to rewards being revoked, but now you’ll have devious dutiful system administrators watching (and potentially controlling, you never know) everything that happens to your machine. PureDepth, Inc. has inked a deal with International Game Technology to provide a “realistic digital video display” to add a new level of control to vanilla slot machines. On the nifty side, programmers can change the typical cherries and numbers to baseball bats, for instance, if they know the Red Sox are taking a field trip to their casino, but on the disappointing end, you can now rest assured that folks behind the scenes now have complete control over “cost, payout, and nearly every other aspect of the game.” Darn, looks like we’re stuck with ATM-jacking from here on out, eh?
