I assume the reason they haven't upgraded the aesthetics is that they want people to recognize their familiar game without thinking it has changed, because the hardware cost should be negligible to at least draw some nicer cards.

Or maybe they're still using 25 year old hardware that hasn't broken down yet? Idk.
Remember when skill gaming was supposed to be the next big thing and all the companies were scrabbling to get the next big hit?

There is one aspect of slots they haven't really tapped into yet, something that seems obvious to me, and I haven't figured out why.
I think it’s bcuz the average ploppie slot player just wants to zone out, push buttons, & stare at the screen.

If they were interested in playing something that required skill they would play VP or live poker or blackjack.
