Welcome to Slot Machines

Slot machines are one of the most liked games to bet on at casinos. On any given night, expect most of the machines to be filled with enthusiastic gamblers. They come in a multitude of wagering levels; some just cost $.05 a spin and others can cost upwards of twenty dollars a spin. Although slot games are a betting tool, a number of folks are afraid of the big money table games and prefer the delight and thrill of a good slot machine game.

The earliest mechanical slot machine was built in 1895 and was dubbed the "Liberty Bell." Created by a California auto mechanic, the earliest slot games had 3 spinning reels with diamonds, hearts, spades and a cracked Liberty Bell on each. Before this invention, the phrase "slot machines" was employed to characterize several kinds of vending machines.

The initial widespread use of slot games in US betting houses is credited to the Flamingo Hotel, Sin City in and around 1940. The administrator of the casino had originally thought the slot machines would be amazing to intrigue apathetic wives of some of the biggest high roller customers of the casino. He didn’t know that slot machine games would be an exciting activity for nearly everyone and that the allure would extend beyond the the tired wives. Now, it is said, slot machines make up in excess of two-thirds of all revenue generated by U.S. brick and mortar casinos.

Slots beyond a doubt have a full history. From the little creation of the mid-1800’s to the billion dollar sector of today, slot machines will continue to develop in universal appeal.
