Slot Machines

A slot machine is a popular casino game with three or more reels which spin when a handle or button is pushed. When the machine stops, it pays off according to the patterns of symbols that shows in front of the machine. It is informally known as fruit machine because of the traditional fruit images used on the spinning reels. This gambling method constitutes more than half of an average casino’s income.

The first coin-operated gambling machine was developed in 1891 by Sittman and Pitt of Brooklyn, New York. It was the precursor for Charles Fey’s three-reel slot machine – the gambling device we know today.

Initially launched as a diversion for casual gamers, it has now become the most famous and most profitable game in casinos worldwide. Modern slot machines are computer-controlled, in contrast to the old mechanical designs of previous machines. But much about the game remained the same.

The newly introduced, Da Fu Da Gui progressive link slot machine, presented its first winner in the Grand Jackpot and Double Luck Jackpot at Solaire Resort & Casino. The lucky winner is the first in the world and took home a cheque for US$781,230 (roughly 38 million in php) on March 11, 2016.

Slot Machines Online 

Slot machines online often use video displays to simulate physical reels, usually five. These machines also have additional bonuses and second-screen features such as free games and bonus levels. They also allow for multiple lines (up to 200) or multiple ways (up to 3,125) to be played.

These gaming machines are developed by gaming companies like Aristocrat, Rival, Real Time Gaming,  Microgaming, Playtech, NetEnt, IGT or and other such games providers.  These games have lots of features and come in multiple forms. Some of the features you will find in slots are that they are loaded with symbols, scatters, wild, free spins, bonus games, jackpots to win, gamble feature and many others of such kind.

There are multiway slots too where you can play the entire position of each reel instead of fixed lines or patterns. For instance, if a player plays 1 reel on a 243 way game, they receive three symbols in the first reel which pay anywhere in the three positions, while all other reels pay in the centre only, with unused areas darkened.

Also if you play 5 reels, symbols can appear anywhere in the window and will pay as long as there is one in each reel. Most games however still require the symbols appearing left to right, sometimes this even includes scatters.

Scatter symbols still pay the same as per conventional games, multiplying their pay amount by the total bet and the amount of ways/reels played. Other multiway games give you even more ways by using a 4×5 or 5×5 pattern, where there are up to 5 symbols in each reel, allowing for up to 1,024 and 3,125 ways to win respectively.
