I'm not sure what this article means... apparently, they will present MacGyver-themed slot machines at the National Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention?
Center stage at the Novomatic Americas booth will be two licensed games displayed in a PlayerPocket format, From Dusk Till Dawn and the iconic TV show hit, MacGyver.
I'm all for MacGyver-themed stuff, but not sure if that the best thing to have of our idol

Ugh. He's talking like he's trying to sell a car or a computer.
I don't know anything about slot machines. I have no clue what he's saying
“NIGA is one of the most exciting yearly tradeshows we attend,” said Rick Meitzler, President, and CEO of Novomatic Americas. “We’re looking forward to this year’s show because it gives our Tribal customers a chance to see what we have been working on over the last year. Showing for the first time in the US, we have the PANTHERA and PANTHERA Curve cabinets and the V.I.P. LOUNGE Curve, licensed content with From Dusk Till Dawn and MacGyver and our new Enchanted Fortunes Linked Jackpot product. It definitely demonstrates our continued commitment to offering Tribal innovations that drive performance.”
Since Gambling Addiction is no joke, I'm not sure why 80s/90s-themed-slot machines are nice to have for "Tribal customers"

I have no idea either. Course, I don't gamble, so I wouldn't know anything about this stuff.

What MacGyver need is a full blown video game on PS4 or a pinball machine.

Doesn't surprise me. It's not like he stands for anything anymore anyway. Sheesh! That's 3 any's!
If the reboot is anything to go by, Mac & his team use violence to solve problems, drink. So why would spending your hard earned cash be any different? Right?

Can't argue with that, but they'd probably have to make one for all platforms. Not everyone has PS4.
Not if it is a PS4 exclusive. But you're probably right.
Denizen, you have 4 any's.

Yes, but the slot machine seems to be styled after he original, so...

Well, if they do a video game it would be based off the reboot, not the original.
Though, I'm pretty sure CBS just wants to pretend the original doesn't exist anymore, but still bank on it's popularity.
I actually did a thread a long time ago on what I'd like to see in a MacGyver video game. XD I could probably did that sucker up and blow off the cyber dust.

I know I said this before, but I think the Nancy Drew games match MacGyver in some ways. That'd be a good starting point for a MacGyver game.
I always thought the "Broken Sword" games would have been a great template for a MacGyver game. They were classic point and click adventures, which definitely fit the MacGyver style the best, since many of the puzzles rely on figuring out how to use items in unconventional ways to solve problems. And the settings for the Broken Sword games often felt like they'd fit right in with Mac's world. I mean, look at some of these screenshots, and tell me this couldn't be adapted into a MacGyver game:
Anyway, back on topic.... slot machines... odd choice for branding, but pretty cool!

You're bringing up some really good ideas, Mi!

And that means?
That it sucks worse?
Designed after the reboot would make it not worth bothering with. THE REBOOT SUCKS!!
Considering how much different the reboot is from the original, it would make more sense for them to style this after the reboot, in my opinion. The reboot is popular enough, so they'd still be banking on popularity.

I've reached out to the company to get some information, but they haven't responded other than to say they've passed my request onto head office. (Translation = you'll never hear from us again.)
