Slots are one of the most favoured games to bet on at casinos. On any night, bargain on most of the machines to be packed with enthusiastic players. They come in a variety of playing levels; a few only cost $.05 a spin and others can cost upwards of $20 a spin. Although slots are a wagering tool, a number of people are afraid of the high-dollar table games and are partial to the entertainment and excitement of an excellent one arm bandit.
The initial slot machine was assembled in Eighteen Ninety Five and was called the "Liberty Bell." Created by a California machinist, the initial slot machines had 3 reels with a cracked Liberty Bell, diamonds, hearts, and spades on each. Before this invention, the name "slot machines" was used to describe different types of vending machines.
The first real widespread use of one armed bandits in US betting houses is credited to the Flamingo Hotel, Vegas somewhere around the 40’s. The head of the brick and mortar casino had initially thought the slot machines would be amazing to captivate apathetic wives of a few of the biggest high roller customers of the brick and mortar casino. Little did he know that slot machines would be an enjoyable game for almost everyone and that the enticement would extend beyond the the tired wives. Now, it is said, slot machines make up in excess of 2/3rds of all money generated by American brick and mortar casinos.
Slot machines certainly have a rich history. From the small creation of the mid-1800’s to the multi-million dollar industry of today, slots will continue to expand in universal appeal.
