The idea of a slot machine zombie is the player is mindless and trancelike, and will continue to play on the slot machine no matter how much money they lose.

Slot machine zombies can be any age or gender. The zombie can be a regular player or a slots tourist coming to town for the weekend. The idea is the player wants to find a spot in the casino and camp there, playing one machine and one machine alone.

Gamblers at the casino table games are prone to consider most regular slot machine players "zombies". These players often walk by the slot machines on their way to the tables and shake their heads at the people sitting in front of a computer screen and feeding coins into a machine. The true slots zombie is the player who sits at one machine and feeds it regardless of wins or losses, especially when the player is losing consistently on the slot machine.
