Slot machines

A slot machine is a game that is in a Casino. It has three wheels in the machine that spin once a lever is pulled or a button is pushed. You place your coins (or tokens) into the machine, push the button and watch the wheels. If you are luck the Slot machine will spit out money. Even now the machines are the most popular form of Casino game.

One can trace the slot machine back to the 1880`s. Sittman and Pitt made a game that involved spinning drums and cards. The idea was to get the best poker hand. The payout wasn't money but a reward of the bars choosing.

Then a man named Charles Fey updated this idea. He replaced the drums with reels and added a way to decrease the odds of winning. He also added a way to get an automatic reward. This was the first One Armed Bandit.

Now there are many different versions of the slot machine. You can find a poker slot machine or a toy slot machine. In casinos now you can find touch screen slot machines. If you are a collector you can also buy an antique slot machine. Check the laws in your state about private ownership of slot machines.
