The origins of Slot games

[crzy]

Slot machines are practically the “furniture” that can be found in any Casino anywhere in the world. Slot games are said to have been invented around 1871 in San Francisco.

I think the popularity of slot machines is due to their simple mechanics to implement and play, it's a captivating game that anyone can play... in the "simplest" mode, just pull a lever.

Not to mention that the lack of a person to control the game was also very profitable for the casinos in the beginning, which could place several machines without having to hire a single employee.

The best part here is their colorful theme and the lighting, it is perfectly designed to attract more gamblers in the casinos. Its interesting to know the history of slots games and over the years it changes into a better machines. Maybe the innovation of this slot machines in the future will be more interesting, I wonder what could be the big change for slots in the future.

Right. And there are a lot of interesting and exciting games from slot machines, the reason why it’s the top choice of most of the gamblers. But to be honest, slot machine odds are sometimes the worst, because you can always end up losing no matter how high your chances of winning. Slot games are still based on pure luck, so definitely never expect much when you go for slot machines.

These slots in the picture are becoming rarer and rarer to play in other places except in capitals of gambling in the world which is Las Vegas and Maccau.That is normal considering the huge amount of slot machines we have online and the providers of online slots in my honest opinion make much better slot machines than the offline providers,they put a lot of thought in every single detail of the slot and thus making slot machines the most preferred game in online casinos.

Whatever the history of slots it is something that cannot be contrasted that the online slot providers like Pragmatic,Push Gaming,Relax Gaming,Play n Go and others offer people everything they need when trying to play sot machines making offline slot machines being played by only old generation and people who can afford to go to Vegas.

I wonder how the old slot machines worked without electricity...
Is there an origin to when and how slot machines became so boring in real life?

I do not know why, but the aesthetic of slot machines has dropped below a significant level in real life casinos. Nowadays, in Las Vegas, you have to play with buttons and you are not even allowed to play with quarters. They expect you to put your gambling fund upfront. I really liked the old ones with the crank levers and the quarter slots. I understand that pressing a button or putting in quarters will tire your customers out more. So obviously making it harder for them to keep playing at your slot machines all day. I imagine casino owners care more about profit than the gambling experience, so buttons it is... What we really need is a plug and play lever substitute for online gambling for personal home use.

It will be interesting to know when this transition happened, however I think another big factor has to do with the maintenance of slot machines, the first slot machines were completely mechanical so I assume they needed a lot of maintenance, like keeping them oiled and replacing parts that showed signs of deterioration and which could affect the payout rate of the slot machine, but since slot machines are now basically just another computer then those costs have been reduced significantly making them even more profitable than in the past.

I think the latest slot machines nowadays are well upgraded where high maintenance wouldn't be necessary. Just like the latest technology, they have surely used the latest specs to make it more accessible. It's just that there are casinos that are always changing their rules. That's why it's now more convenient to play with online slots. The convenience that it could cause actually makes the whole game more exciting.

Slots would probably be the next thing you'd imagine/remember when talking about a casino after poker. It's basically an identity at this point imo. I actually never thought it was related to gambling when I first heard of it, which was in a game iirc, since it wasn't introduced with gambling as the idea in the first place, but knowing how it is now well it just fits to a T with how casinos have reskinned slots to oblivion.

The best part here is their colorful theme and the lighting, it is perfectly designed to attract more gamblers in the casinos.

It's kind of similar to how gaming arcades design their booths, it's really colorful and obvious what the machine is about, hence why it actually can attract attention even from afar. Idk which came first though, slots or those kinds of booths (I reckon it's slots).

Old slots have simple mechanics that don't need electricity to be operable. There are a few vintage slot machines in existence and if my memory serves me correctly you can easily find most of them in most pawn shops in Las Vegas because owners pawn them for good money. Some are even still working to this day because of good management. What needs to be said about these types of slots is that they only work with quarters and dimes which may sound great to you coz you're looking for the nostalgic feeling or the fact that you don't want to put all of your money on a slot machine upfront. As for the slot machines of today, there's really little we can do because these gambling houses are the ones that set the pace, they know that there will always be someone who would want to gamble, so they have a lot of control over the things they put out.

In reality, the most profitable thing for casinos tends to be slots, and poker is not very profitable or even loss-making. Many times poker tournaments are set up to attract people who then end up in the slots, I mean the typical big multi-table tournament that attracts many players because of the great price but as they are eliminated they visit other parts of the casino.
