Nowadays slot machines are certain to be among the most favorite games in casinos all over the world. Just slots contribute nearly 70% to an average earning of any casino. The slots have a long history, and new variations of them keep on emerging and attracting customers now.
The predecessor of the contemporary slot machine or so-called "one-armed bandit" was invented in Brooklyn by Pitt and Sittman in 1891. It was mostly based on poker, and there were fifty card faces that were held by 5 drums. Players put nickels into the slot and pulled a lever in order to play the game. Players could win cigar, beer, or any other thing that the establishments offered as there wasn't any payout system back that time. The establishments which offered the slots wanted a player not to win and they strived for earning more profits from the game, so they usually took the Jack of Hearts and the Ten of Spades from the deck to make it harder to collect a Royal Flush.
At the end of the 19th century, Charles Fey brought the first slot to San Francisco, California. His slot, the "Liberty Bell," was less complex and automated with three reels and five symbols, such as hearts, diamonds, spades, horseshoes, and a Liberty Bell. As the winning combination was easier to understand now, Fey could produce an automatic payout system. A line of 3 bells gave the player the biggest payout amount of 10 nickels.
In 1964 Bally invented the first electro-mechanical slot machine. Soon, a lot of versions of slots, the Penny Slot, appeared and attracted increasingly number of people.
Since lots of casino operators started to choose more computerized and advanced slots which accept tokens, bills, and banknotes with bar codes, to play the slots became more costly for the majority of people. Some years ago, however, the penny slot machine appeared on the scene, as the casinos have been trying to attract more customers offering an apparently cheaper game. Newer slot versions usually require more and more coins per line. So, casinos made a decision to lower it into the penny, the smallest coin in the USA.
The last years a lot of online casinos have appeared, and the majority of them also offer online penny slots. These slots work just as traditional penny slot machines in land-based casinos. All the transactions are made online, and all that players have to do is to register for an account which will be used to play on the website or download slot software. Players who want to play online a penny slot must be not less than 18 years old, they should conform to the gambling laws and taxation of their jurisdiction or country. A number of online penny slots offer a new player a 100% bonus just for signing in, as well.
The online penny slot is usually considered to be an alternative for a player who wants to play in the privacy of his own home.
However, some gambling experts and writers call the penny slots as a "wolf in sheep's clothing" since it can suck all player's money regardless of the slot seemingly reasonable cost.
There are lots of online penny slot machines at the moment. The most popular are As the Reels Turn, Mega Moolah, The Reel Deal.
