Welcome to Slot Machines

[ English ]

The slots are one of the most popular games to gamble on at casinos. On any night, count on most of the machines to be packed with enthusiastic players. They appear in a variety of playing levels; a few only cost five cents a play while others can cost upwards of twenty dollars a spin. Although slots are a wagering tool, a lot of individuals are afraid of the big money table games and prefer the entertainment and exhilaration of a good one arm bandit.

The first slot machine was built in Eighteen Ninety Five and was called the "Liberty Bell." Invented by a California machinist, the 1st slot machines had 3 spinning reels with diamonds, hearts, spades and a cracked Liberty Bell affixed on each. Prior to this invention, the name "slot machines" was used to characterize different kinds of vending machines.

The first real widespread use of slot games in American betting houses is credited to the Flamingo Hotel, Las Vegas somewhere around 1940. The administrator of the brick and mortar casino had initially thought the slot machines would be perfect to intrigue bored wives of some of the biggest high roller customers of the brick and mortar casino. Little did he know that the slots would be an exciting activity for almost everyone and that the allure would go beyond the the apathetic wives. At this time, it is said, slot machine games comprise over 2/3rds of all income generated by U.S. betting houses.

Slot machine games absolutely have a full history. From the petite invention of the mid-1800’s to the billion dollar business of today, slots will continue to grow in popularity.
