The Grand History of Slot Machines
Otherwise, it is totally perfect. It is wrong to interpret that the rate of every kind of slot machine is same. No, they are not same. They come in a variety of different playing levels and their prices depend upon that only. While some machines cost around 5 cent each play, some plays are more costly with around twenty dollar for one turn.
In spite of all the benevolence, it is a bare truth that the slot machines are simply tools of gambling. People know it but even after that they are attracted to the slot machines. Most of the regular followers like the more costly machines and they feel comfortable there only. Slot machines were never named as such. It has a long history. The first of its kind was built in the year of 1895. Its name was different then. It was called as Liberty Bell. Its design had the mind of a person from California who was also a maniac. Its earlier designs were very different from its current one.
Those machines used to have three rotating reels. Different things were painted on each of them. They were painted with spades, cracked Bell, hearts and diamonds. The name slot machine was not given after its invention. It was in use long before that. The only difference was that it used to indicate some other machines like vending machines. The builder of the slot machines had no idea that it would be sold like crazies. Soon, the situation came when it became impossible for the manufacturers to manufacture it on its own and then he tied up with some other Californian firm. Together they started to supply the slot machines around the globe.
Long after its invention, the slot machines had not found a suitable way to enter into the Las Vegas. These used to be utilized alone only. No casino used to sponsor it. The situation changed dramatically when a Las Vegas Hotel, Flamingo, decided to go for it to pull another chunk of crowd to its door. Even at that time, it was used to distract the minds of the wives of owners. But it proved to be an outright success. Nothing could ever leverage it.
