Slot machines are one of the most liked games to wager on at casinos. On any night, count on most of the slot machines to be packed with eager players. They appear in a multitude of gambling levels; some only cost five cents a spin while others can cost as much as $20 a play. Although slot machines are a wagering tool, many folks are intimidated by the big money card tables and like the entertainment and exhilaration of a great slot machine game.
The initial slot machine was constructed in 1895 and was dubbed the "Liberty Bell." Created by a California auto mechanic, the earliest slot machines had three spinning reels with a cracked Liberty Bell, diamonds, hearts, and spades on each. Before this invention, the term "slot machines" was employed to characterize different types of vending machines.
The first real across the board use of slot machines in US casinos is attributed to the Flamingo Hotel, Vegas in and around 1940. The head of the casino had initially thought the machines would be perfect to entertain apathetic wives of a few of the largest 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 allure would extend further than the tired wives. At this time, it is said, the slots make up in excess of two-thirds of all revenue generated by U.S. betting houses.
Slot machines absolutely have a full history. From the petite invention of the mid-19th century to the billion dollar business of today, the slots will continue to grow in popularity.
