Introduction of Casinos Slots

By Rich Vial

Do you know the reason behind the introduction of casinos slots? The reason is quite interesting. Casinos slots were introduced for the wives and girlfriends of men (basically gamblers) so that the latter would get more time to play. A considerate decision! Indeed! Well, time has changed, we are in a different world for the time being and there have been lots of changes in the world of casino also. The same game of casinos slots has become very popular by now and its attraction is not confined among women only. Men, at one fell swoop, are found to take part in these games. Can you find out the reason? Casinos slots entail instant jackpots and easiness to play and all these attract people a lot, without a shred of doubt.

There are, if truth be told, two types of casinos slots. While one is straight slots, the other one is progressive slots. Let's discuss more candidly. Straight slots are known for having set jackpot payouts as per the machines payout schedule. Take for instance you are playing on a straight quarter slot. If you win a jackpot by betting on a quarter, it will give 200 coins, a two-quarter bet wins 600 coins, and the jackpot amounts to 2000 coins. In contrast, progressive slot machines have jackpots tied into a bank of machines, a carousel of machines, or even other machines at a different casino.

Keep in mind that the progressive jackpot is displayed on an electric board that is attached to the progressive slot machines. What's more, the progressive jackpot grows with every play on each slot machine of the progressive group. Lastly, the payment on account of progressive slots can reach to high level and can range from several thousands to multi-million dollar payments.

In addition, a casino consists of several other attractions like reel slot machine, 4-reel slot machine and also the 5-reel slot machine. The other attractions include fruit machine, and uses a video monitor in place of standard reels. Nevertheless, these days introduction of casinos slots are being witnessed than ever before and this is also becoming a star attraction. Why do these casinos slots attract? Well, the reason is not hard to see. They do possess charms of traditional mechanical models even though work on different principles. It should be remembered that result of each pull in modern casinos slots is controlled by a central computer inside the machine instead of the motion of the reels.

It is worthwhile to mention that casinos slots generate the largest revenues of all games at casinos in the modern United States of America. As already said, they were once viewed as the "wife's" game, a conveniently located machine that provided entertainment to the partners of the high rollers in the casino. For this reason the success is indeed noteworthy.

Last of all, casinos slots became more advanced and more technical over the years and entered the electro mechanical era sometime mid way through the 20th century. This period is symbolized by the creation of Big Berther and it cost upwards of $150,000 to create and was driven by an electric motor. The chance of a casino player hitting the jackpot was 1 in 25.6 billion.
