Slots

The first slot machine, the Liberty Bell, was invented by Charles Fey, as early as 1898. The Liberty Bell was a mechanical device, with three reels, each with ten symbols. Three Liberty Bells got you the jackpot, with a probability of 1 in 1,000 (10x10x10).

Despite the fact slot machines have a history going back more than a century, table games have been more popular for the better part of that period. However, during the last two decades, the popularity of slot machines has increased exponentially, to the point they now account for the majority of casino revenues worldwide.

The most important development contributing to the astonishing success of slots, has been the invention of the computer chip, and it's application to slot machines. Today, slots are not mechanical, but rather, computerized machines. An electronic slot machine has a number of advantages over a mechanical device:

• It's very easy to redesign a digital slot, without replacing it by a new machine;
• Payout percentages can be changed instantly by changing the program;
• A digital slot plays faster because you simply press a button instead of pulling a lever, and you play with credits instead of manually inserting coins at each turn.
