Slot games are possibly the most famous games to wager on at casinos. On any night, bargain on most of the machines to be packed with enthusiastic gamblers. They appear in a good selection of gambling levels; some just cost five cents a spin while others can cost as much as twenty dollars a spin. Although slot games are a wagering tool, many individuals are afraid of the big money card tables and prefer the fun and exhilaration of an excellent slot machine game.
The first mechanical slot machine was created in 1895 and was dubbed the "Liberty Bell." Invented by a California auto mechanic, the earliest slot machines had 3 spinning reels with diamonds, hearts, spades and a cracked Liberty Bell on each. Prior to this invention, the term "slot machines" was used to characterize various kinds of vending machines.
The initial across the board use of slot machines in American casinos is attributed to the Flamingo Hotel, Vegas somewhere around the 40’s. The owner of the brick and mortar casino had initially thought the slot machines would be perfect to captivate apathetic wives of some of the largest high roller customers of the brick and mortar casino. Little did he know that the slots would be a fun activity for almost everyone and that the enticement would go beyond the the bored wives. At this time, it is said, the slots make up in excess of 2/3rds of all income generated by U.S. brick and mortar casinos.
Slots beyond a doubt have a rich history. From the petite invention of the late-1800’s to the multi-million dollar business of today, slot machines will continue to grow in prominence.
