gaming south fall 14_gaming south fall 14 10/10/14 9:40 AM Page 16 In today's fast world, communication is important! In a business environment it is vital that staff is able to properly communicate with its customers and co-workers.

Juke Slot is a fully integrated Self-Service Tablet Kiosk that brings digital technology and social media to you and your customer's finger tips. Juke Slot allows 2-way communication at any given time while your patrons are sitting at the slot machine or sitting at the table enjoying a meal. This system allows you to track customer usage and capitalize on cross-selling opportunities to maximize revenues. Are your players leaving their slot machine to order drinks or food? Do you want to offer incentives to your best customers while dining in your restaurant? Would you like to monitor and increase the time and efficiency of your waiter staff? Do you want to communicate with your customers instantaneously and in real time? Juke Slot is the \"New Generation of Self-Service Kiosk\" with the capability to integrate with your Casino Management System, Point of Sales, and Social Media so your customers spend more time relaxing and enjoying your amenities with less time waiting.

In recent years, Jasper County advocates had sought to reverse the governor’s opposition to a proposal to open a casino in the city, but were unsuccessful. Results of a Winthrop Poll showed those favoring and opposing gambling casinos in South Carolina each registered 47.3 percent. Nearly 5 percent were unsure. When asked if they favor or oppose permitting a limited number of gambling casinos to operate in South Carolina, if they could only be located in or near Myrtle Beach, nearly 64 percent came out opposed to the idea. Far fewer opposed the idea of Myrtle Beach area casinos if the revenue was designated for roads and other infrastructure needs: about 49 percent. “Attitudes on this issue are fluid depending on specific proposals,” said Scott Huffmon, director of the Winthrop Poll and professor of political science.
