Slot machine games are possibly the most favoured games to gamble on at casinos. On any night, bargain on most of the slot machines to be filled with eager gamblers. They come in a multitude of gambling levels; some just cost five cents a spin and others can cost upwards of twenty dollars a play. Although slots are a wagering tool, a number of folks are afraid of the high-dollar card tables and are partial to the entertainment and exhilaration of an excellent one arm bandit.

The 1st slot machine was built in 1895 and was called the "Liberty Bell." Invented by a California auto mechanic, the 1st slot games had 3 reels with diamonds, hearts, spades and a cracked Liberty Bell affixed on each. Prior to this invention, the phrase "slot machines" was used to characterize various types of vending machines.

The first real widespread use of slot machines in US betting houses is credited to the Flamingo Hotel, Sin City somewhere around 1940. The administrator of the betting house had originally thought the machines would be perfect to intrigue apathetic wives of some of the biggest whales of the casino. Little did he know that slot machines would be a fun activity for nearly everyone and that the appeal would extend further than the tired wives. Now, it is said, the slots comprise in excess of 2/3rds of all income generated by American brick and mortar casinos.

Slot machines certainly have a full history. From the petite invention of the mid-1800’s to the multi-million dollar sector of today, slots will continue to develop in universal appeal.
