Grand West introduces cheapest slots yet

GRANDWEST Casino and Entertainment World is celebrating its first year of operation with discounted drinks on the casino floor, and is introducing 10 cent machines and a smoking section for players. "With the introduction of these new slot machines, all you need is 10 cents for the chance to win thousands. We were able to go as low as 10 cents because of Sun International's smart card technology, and the use of video reel games. The 10 cent machines have built in mystery jackpots and interactive second features, such as the choice of different symbols which offer random prizes, making them more entertaining," says Kurt Peter, GrandWest's general manager. Peter added that besides the new slot machines and discounted drinks, new smoking zones would be introduced next month. At present, players can only smoke in the high-rolling salon privé.
