Slots would probably be the next thing you'd imagine/remember when talking about a casino after poker.

In reality, the most profitable thing for casinos tends to be slots, and poker is not very profitable or even loss-making. Many times poker tournaments are set up to attract people who then end up in the slots, I mean the typical big multi-table tournament that attracts many players because of the great price but as they are eliminated they visit other parts of the casino.

I wonder how the old slot machines worked without electricity...
Is there an origin to when and how slot machines became so boring in real life?

I do not know why, but the aesthetic of slot machines has dropped below a significant level in real life casinos. Nowadays, in Las Vegas, you have to play with buttons and you are not even allowed to play with quarters. They expect you to put your gambling fund upfront. I really liked the old ones with the crank levers and the quarter slots. I understand that pressing a button or putting in quarters will tire your customers out more. So obviously making it harder for them to keep playing at your slot machines all day. I imagine casino owners care more about profit than the gambling experience, so buttons it is... What we really need is a plug and play lever substitute for online gambling for personal home use. Grin

Old slots have simple mechanics that don't need electricity to be operable. There are a few vintage slot machines in existence and if my memory serves me correctly you can easily find most of them in most pawn shops in Las Vegas because owners pawn them for good money. Some are even still working to this day because of good management. What needs to be said about these types of slots is that they only work with quarters and dimes which may sound great to you coz you're looking for the nostalgic feeling or the fact that you don't want to put all of your money on a slot machine upfront. As for the slot machines of today, there's really little we can do because these gambling houses are the ones that set the pace, they know that there will always be someone who would want to gamble, so they have a lot of control over the things they put out.

Slots would probably be the next thing you'd imagine/remember when talking about a casino after poker. It's basically an identity at this point imo. I actually never thought it was related to gambling when I first heard of it, which was in a game iirc, since it wasn't introduced with gambling as the idea in the first place, but knowing how it is now well it just fits to a T with how casinos have reskinned slots to oblivion.

The best part here is their colorful theme and the lighting, it is perfectly designed to attract more gamblers in the casinos. Its interesting to know the history of slots games and over the years it changes into a better machines. Maybe the innovation of this slot machines in the future will be more interesting, I wonder what could be the big change for slots in the future.

It's kind of similar to how gaming arcades design their booths, it's really colorful and obvious what the machine is about, hence why it actually can attract attention even from afar. Idk which came first though, slots or those kinds of booths (I reckon it's slots).

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.

The first slot machine ever to make its appearance was designed by a man named Charles Fey, and it was first known as the Liberty Bell. Since then, the device has been further developed over the years, and today we have hundreds of exotic games available to be played in slot machines.

It will be interesting to know when this transition happened, however, I think another big factor has to do with the maintenance of slot machines, the first slot machines were completely mechanical so I assume they needed a lot of maintenance, like keeping them oiled and replacing parts that showed signs of deterioration and which could affect the payout rate of the slot machine, but since slot machines are now basically just another computer then those costs have been reduced significantly making them even more profitable than in the past.

I think the latest slot machines nowadays are well upgraded where high maintenance wouldn't be necessary. Just like the latest technology, they have surely used the latest specs to make it more accessible. It's just that there are casinos that are always changing their rules. That's why it's now more convenient to play with online slots. The convenience that it could cause actually makes the whole game more exciting.

These slots in the picture are becoming rarer and rarer to play in other places except in capitals of gambling in the world which is Las Vegas and Maccau.That is normal considering the huge amount of slot machines we have online and the providers of online slots in my honest opinion make much better slot machines than the offline providers,they put a lot of thought in every single detail of the slot and thus making slot machines the most preferred game in online casinos.

Whatever the history of slots it is something that cannot be contrasted that the online slot providers like Pragmatic,Push Gaming,Relax Gaming,Play n Go and others offer people everything they need when trying to play sot machines making offline slot machines being played by only old generation and people who can afford to go to Vegas.

Right. And there are a lot of interesting and exciting games from slot machines, the reason why it’s the top choice of most of the gamblers. But to be honest, slot machine odds are sometimes the worst, because you can always end up losing no matter how high your chances of winning. Slot games are still based on pure luck, so definitely never expect much when you go for slot machines.

Correct, slot games are very easy to understand and you can learn how to play them correctly in a matter of minutes and they are very convenient for casinos as well, which explains why when you go to a regular casino slot games are by far the most common gambling game you can play, after all if you compare slots to poker you can realize that poker is a game that can take years or even a lifetime to play correctly and at the same time you need to think about every single one of your moves, and this is something that not everyone is going to find entertaining.

Just for the record though, most updated slot machines doesn't have a lever anymore.

But there are still some, and yeah the experience is very much different as compare to like pushing the buttons today.

That was in the beginning, but now with the huge success of slot machines, this has become a niche, there are a lot of competing companies producing better slot machine experience every year and with that lot of personnel to hire for maintenance and obviously to code the game itself.

Compare to online wherein you have to do it yourself if it is provably fair or not. Not saying that online casinos are cheating in Slot Machine. but it's better if we as gamblers knows how to do that.

In fairness, online gambling game providers won't surely ruin their reputation if their slot machine games are sh*tty as hell. Surely, they will follow the standards, and all mentioned RTPs are fair and square. If the users don't know anything about RTP and are provably fair, it's good for them to just stick with reputable online gambling sites to minimize the risks of being cheated.

And more importantly, in the event that a gambler got busted in playing slots, don't ever blame the random algorithm that was applied to slots as this type of gambling is really considered as "luck-based games". Move on after a loss and comes back when ready.

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?

At least when it comes to physical casinos there is a government agency that is in place precisely to check that the games are fair and that there is nothing on the slot which can create unfair results against the gamblers, now there are casinos which do in fact try to cheat their customers, however it is unlikely such a casino will remain in business for long as gamblers will very soon realize that no one ever wins at that casino and will know there is something wrong with their games and then they will decide to gamble at other casinos.

Yes, in a physical casino their is a body to overlook everything, like the Nevada Gaming Control Board who handles regulation of casinos. So they check slot machines before they got it in a floor for every casino that it is fair and RTP as set correct as per law.

Compare to online wherein you have to do it yourself if it is provably fair or not. Not saying that online casinos are cheating in Slot Machine. but it's better if we as gamblers knows how to do that.

All this is interesting, I have already seen several threads with this one, which turns out to be very good that it has to do with history, especially with slot machines, I did not know what it had been for the year 1871, it is a great fact, especially for those who like to emphasize history and everything that has to do with the most traditional casino games, in my case, I was not a big fan of slots, it seemed to me that one lost money very quickly and did not see it Coincidentally, then my perspective began to change from the moment I saw in the threads of stake.com and bitcasino.io when they showed the links of the winning videos of the slots, it is many dollars, millions of dollars, I think that to any motivates.

It's amazing how a simple machine that is created to solve a simple problem became the mainstay of an industry that is worth billions and billions of dollars. Whenever I get the chance to get inside a casino and play, these are the ones that I only go to and they keep me in the place for quite some time. Lots of complex visuals, lots of lines and lots of jackpots but essentially the same.

Kinda want to see and play a mechanical one that is still in operation, and of course free from any mechanical interference that might affect my gameplay.

When you say mechanical, those lever that you can pull down still? just like the old machines? I think there are still some of them slot machines. I played some of them, and still very exciting indeed.

But now the machine has evolved so much that the lines can be extended, just not 3x5 or 5x5, sometimes the screen will go high and not sure how much is the playing line. Played last night though,

not my lucky night but at least me and may friends did enjoy the game as there was a baccarat tournament in the casino's that we went it and so the atmosphere is very festive.

Old slot machines are still there; some are being preserved by collectors along with other vintage games which is amazing. The machines nowadays are still simple to play but more complicated to win. Also there are added combinations so I cannot gauge whether it is an advantage to have other winning combinations but with more columns. Basically bigger probability would be needed to get the jackpot. I stopped playing slots becaude it became noring on my perspective. But it is one of the gambling games I played when I was still young because there are imitations or replicas being played on gamezones but the difference is that rewards are in form of candies or chocolate bars. But the idea is still there; get the winning combination.

Yes, I often read about the origin of the creation of slot machines, of course the history of slot gambling thanks to the efforts of Charles Fey at that time and growing until now.

We know that currently slot machines are one of the favorite types of gambling and games for some gambling lovers around the world, Of course we often hear gambling lovers say slot games are one of the easy games and benefit some slot bettors by offering such as jackpot prizes and so on.

Maybe back in the era of Charles Fey in 1871 slot machines were not as sophisticated as they are today, now with the development of technology, many slot machines are equipped with software with the ability of this algorithm, it shows that slots are always favored by online and land gambling lovers who are currently growing, with a variety of available symbols such as: thematic slots, classic, joker123, video and so on.

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.

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.
