Slots

The very first slot machine was created over one hundred years ago by a Mr. Charles Fey from San Francisco. It was modeled on a machine that gave the winner a free beer from the bar, although Fey's version paid out real cash.

Casino slot machines have come a long way since Fey's inaugural design. Electronic versions feature countless extras such as accumulating jackpots and multiple line betting. They also adhere to the basic principle of the game though. This being that the player inserts a coin (or a note or credit card), pulls the handle or pushes the button and waits to see if their luck's in or out.

Online slot machines have exploded in an array of imaginatively themed games. In place of the familiar bar or bell symbols, modern online slots features weird and wacky symbols, often in the theme of computer games, movies and pop stars.

Slots machines have also developed into new types of games such as video poker and blackjack machines that have proved popular both in land-based and online casinos worldwide.
