The History of Online Slots Gambling
Believe it or not but slot machines have been around since the late 19th
century.
The story of slots gambling began when the very first slot machine was invented
in 1887 by a San Francisco-based mechanic called Charles Fey.
It was a basic 3-reel slot, nickel machine containing reels with 'Liberty Bell'
symbols as well as playing card hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds. As a result,
it became and is still known as the 'Liberty Bell Slot Machine.
In fact, this machine is on display today at the Liberty Bell Saloon and
Restaurant in the gambling town of Reno, Nevada.
Not only was Fey a talented mechanic but also an extremely astute businessman as
he proved when he started his own slot machine rental business. He used to rent
his slot machines to local gambling halls for 50% of their profit.
Over the years, the slot machine has earned various nicknames such as 'Fruit
Machine' because of widely used fruit symbols as well as 'one-armed bandit' due
to the lever on the side of the machine that required pulling to set the reels
spinning.
No land casino would be complete without their noisy slots gambling halls, with banks of
gleaming chromed machines flashing their colorful displays, ringing bells and
the magical metallic ding, ding, ding of coins splashing into coin trays.
After the Internet came along, and online gambling hit the scene, slots made a
seamless transition into online casinos and became an instant hit amongst
gamblers the world over.
As a result, the planet's top online gambling software vendors, including
Microgaming, Cryptologic and Playtech, continue to produce newer, more exciting
online slots gambling games than ever before.
These include traditional or classic 3-reel slot games as well as 5-reel slots,
single line slots, multi-line slots, bonus slots, video slots and the lucrative
progressive jackpot slots.
Of all the online casino gambling games available on the Internet, perhaps it is
not surprising that online slots are still the most widely played game in online
casinos.
