An Introduction to Slots

Slot machines are one of the most favored games to gamble on at casinos. On any night, expect most of the machines to be packed with eager players. They appear in a variety of gambling levels; a few only cost $.05 a play while others can cost upwards of $20 a play. Although slot machines are a betting tool, a lot of folks are afraid of the high-dollar card tables and are partial to the delight and thrill of a great slot machine.

The initial slot machine was created in 1895 and was dubbed the "Liberty Bell." Invented by a California machinist, the initial slot machines had 3 reels with a cracked Liberty Bell, diamonds, hearts, and spades painted on each. Prior to this invention, the term "slot machines" was employed to characterize different types of vending machines.

The initial across the board use of slots in US betting houses is attributed to the Flamingo Hotel, Sin City somewhere around the 40’s. The head of the betting house had originally thought the slot machines would be perfect to entertain bored wives of some of the biggest whales of the betting house. Little did he know that the slots would be an exciting activity for nearly everyone and that the appeal would go further than the tired wives. Now, it is said, slot machine games comprise over two-thirds of all revenue brought in by U.S. brick and mortar casinos.

Slot machine games absolutely have a full history. From the petite creation of the mid-19th century to the billion dollar sector of today, slots will continue to expand in prominence.
