Slot Machine Mug Shots

When trying to figure out a way of getting criminals’ mug shots out there for the world to see, Japan found a way to link it to one of the more popular things to do in the country – slot machines. The Japanese online casino software developer Famista, Inc. has announced that they will be releasing a new online slot machine that will feature mug shots instead of cherries and dollar signs.

The online casino developer decided that if you want to get out the faces of the most wanted criminals why not put them on slot machines. People sit for hours looking at the reels, what better way to get them to look at mug shots but to put them in their faces?

They said that initially the online slot machine will be free to play, as they know that this will draw even higher numbers of people to play the games. If they hit a jackpot, then they are happy. If they recognize the face of a criminal, then everyone has won.

The online casino game company thought that by just putting the pictures of the criminals on their web site that they wouldn’t get a lot of notice. However, by putting them on the slot machines they are able to mix entertainment with the mug shots and they think more people will notice. If someone hits a jackpot on a mug shot then they are even more likely to notice them. They figure it is a win-win no matter what.
