Lol, are they for real? Silent Hill slots?! I thought they learned their lesson after that shitty lightgun arcade shooter from years ago. Please tell me this is some kind of elaborate trolling...
It's not a troll, and it will likely be more profitable for them than the last couple silent hills games combined at a fraction of the development costs of Silent Hills, they've been making gambling machines for awhile, and once you recoup the high initial startup cost, the profit margins on those things can get downright obscene.
I don't think some people in this thread understand the ridiculous profit margins involved in slot machines, there's a reason Konami has a major office in Las Vegas. They aren't the biggest, but they are making bank in the gambling business, and I see their machines quite often.
Those stupid theme slots make serious bucks, and casinos are always looking to purchase the latest, shiniest theme slots, from Willy Wonka, to Avatar, to Jurassic park, all have been turned into slot machines, and the casinos are always hunting the latest machines to give them an edge over competitors, so Konami can crank out different versions of these things for negligible cost compared to developing a new video game.
They just doubled the size of their vegas office less than 2 years ago, we as gamers may be enraged by it, but Konami will likely be laughing at MGS and Silent Hill fans all the way to the bank.
