Slots

Whether you call them pokies, fruit machines, or one-armed bandits, the slot machine has won over fans ever since its first introduction by American Charles Fey in 1887. The term "one-armed bandit" was derived from the machine's simple capacity of sometimes leaving certain players penniless.

Slot machines appear in many locations including casinos, pubs, and amusement arcades around the world. An integral part of most casino floors, the slot machines have developed from simple games of chance, to machines requiring certain levels of skill, such as video poker and blackjack machines. Due to their popularity, and as with their infamous cousin the pinball machine, slots are constantly reinvented using different themes.

The real attraction of slots is the big prizes offered by many of the leading casinos in Las Vegas with million dollar wins making headline news. Many machines offer the chance of a penny a play, but some big win machines can gobble up to $100 per spin. The chances of winning big are fairly slim, but as with all games of chance, someone has to win!

Various features such as multiple coin options supply more depth to the slot machine experience beyond the original "slot and hope" format of Mr. Fey's original machine.
