Slot machines are one of the most famous games to wager on at casinos. On any night, bargain on most of the slot machines to be filled with eager players. They come in a good selection of playing levels; a few only cost $.05 a play while others can cost as much as twenty dollars a spin. Although slots are a gambling tool, many people are afraid of the big money card tables and are partial to the delight and thrill of a good slot machine game.

The earliest slot machine was assembled in 1895 and was called the "Liberty Bell." Invented by a California machinist, the earliest slot games had three spinning reels with a cracked Liberty Bell, diamonds, hearts, and spades on each. Before this invention, the name "slot machines" was employed to characterize several types of vending machines.

The initial across the board use of slot machine games in American casinos is credited to the Flamingo Hotel, Sin City somewhere around the 40’s. The head of the brick and mortar casino had initially thought the slot machines would be awesome to fascinate tired wives of a few of the biggest high roller customers of the betting house. Little did he know that slot machines would be an exciting game for almost everyone and that the allure would extend further than the bored wives. Now, it is said, slots make up over two-thirds of all income brought in by U.S. casinos.

Slot machine games beyond a doubt have a rich history. From the small creation of the mid-1800’s to the multi-million dollar sector of today, slots will continue to grow in universal appeal.
