Slots and the 'Zone': Leading players to 'extinction' Natasha Dow Schull discussed the design of gambling devices following more than a year of study. Her presentation, "Escape by Design: Control and Compulsion in Las Vegas Machine Gambling" outlined how gambling machine manufacturers work to keep players gambling longer, locking them into a "zone" where they "play to extinction." Schull, an MIT professor, is the author of Machine Life: Control and Compulsion in Las Vegas, to be published by Princeton University Press in 2008. Windows Media video PowerPoint slides |
