Harrahs.com recently launched its "Slot Finder" application, an online search engine aimed at assisting players in locating slot games. The new Internet tool has already garnered much praise within the industry.

The Harrah's site enables searching by location, denomination, game name and game type (video slots, spinning reels or poker), enabling the slot-hungry player to learn, for instance, that Harrah's Laughlin has 45 different penny-slot games.

Harrah's executives emphasized that this is but the first version of Slot Finder, and that further bells and whistles will be added, such as graphic representation of where on the casino floor specific games can be found.

Video poker players will be disappointed to learn that there is no pay table information. The machines could be 10/7 or 6/5, but you'll only find that out after showing up to the casino in person.

It also gives Harrah's another means to incentivize cross-play between its 40-plus casino properties.
