Bank to Introduce Slot Games in ATM Machines
It's payday and you at the ATM do you risk it? Why not you were going to the local bar to play the VLT's anyway.
A bank based here has come up with an unusual way to attract customers to its automatic teller machines -- by installing slot games in them. From Aug. 8, Ogaki Kyoritsu Bank will introduce slot games in ATMs that give customers the chance to win back bank fees or cash.
Bank officials say they hope the new ATMs, reportedly the first of their kind in Japan, will give customers a sense of "excitement." "When it comes to ATMs, financial institutions eagerly compete to make them convenient," a bank representative said. "Banks are part of the service industry. We want people to enjoy a 'feeling of excitement' with a sense of fun."
