The origins of Slot Games

Slot machines are practically the “furniture” that can be found in any Casino anywhere in the world. Slot games are said to have been invented around 1871 in San Francisco.

From what is written in the article link you provided above, its stated that the first slot machine was invented in 1891 and not 1871. So O.P, please take correction.
So from 1891 to 2022 is a clear sign that this slot machine has been in existence for over 131yrs today, which is actually a long time. And its glad to know that the first slot machine was created by Sittman and Pitt in 1891 which had no direct method of payment, of which winnings were paid at the bar in a non monetary form such as free drinks and cigars. And also nice knowing that another slot machine developed in 1902 paid out winnings in form of chewing gum and sweets of the corresponding flavour back then.

Slot machines are the part that bring the biggest revenue to casinos I assume because I am an avid slot player but when I go to the reputable casinos they bring a huge amount of slot machines from a lot of different providers,it is not an exaggeration to say that most reputable casinos offer more than 2000 slot machines for us to choose from and every single one has a different story and different game play mechanics making them the preferred game in gambling.

They are the most played games because they usually often have the highest win you can win in a casino game with some going up to x300.000 your bet,now find something that beats that,you simply can't.

Actually I'm more interested with the Retro and Old slots rather than the catchy new one that we've seen on land based casino nowadays. I think the retro and old slots aren't rigged since it's trusted and has been exist since long time ago, new slot machine usually has high house edge even though the highest multipliers is higher than the low house edge. Anyway have anyone hit a jackpot from slot machines on land based casinos?

Same here. I love retro stuffs too much. I think that is because we are 90's, 80's or 70's kids. It's not that old slots are not catchy but being catchy will not only based on new designs. It's only up to the person if how he appreciates it.

If you think there are more catchy slots are in land based casinos nowadays then how much more in the online world or here in crypto casinos? They are more modern because they are online and are using the blockchain technology but they can still apply a retro theme on them for those who are into it. When it comes to fairness I think it depends on the gambling place but I can also trust slots which uses a provably fair system.

Slots in physical casinos are transformed into online casinos, which is the attraction of online casinos to get more users. And when slots in online casinos use attractive animations, it can make gamblers come back again and play the same slots games as before. Casinos know very well what keeps gamblers coming back. A large number of slot games available in their casinos and the various bonuses available to members makes the casino a very profitable business. And if a casino does not have a slot game, it feels like a casino does not have a complete gambling game and people will not play for too long in that casino.

Yet another chapter in the history of gambling. Short, like the others, but interesting.

Slot machines are one of the most profitable things a casino can have. A friend of mine works in one and he says it is the most profitable thing they have. Many times, games like poker, are offered to give variety of games and attract potential customers, of which some will end up betting on slots or other games that are more profitable for the casino.

I don't know if there will be that difference in online casinos, I guess not.

One of the most interesting points of Slots' story is the fact that in 1902 they were banned, so as an alternative to keep existing and operating, those machines started paying prizes to 'gamblers' in candies, since money prizes were no longer allowed. Each fruit displayed on the slots paid a different candy's flavor and that is why this slots' icons theme got so popular and became a classic until nowadays.

Yes, slot machine has also evolved that now it is biggest game in every casino, I don't think that it covered just 70% in the floor, maybe higher around 80% in most landbased casinos around the world.

It's just though that it is really hard to win the jackpot or mega win in slot machines. I have fare share of winnings, and I really enjoyed playing slot machine whenever I travel in a physical casino.
