Slots Rules (Slot Machine)
A man named Charles Fey developed the first commercially successful slot machine in his San Francisco machine shop around 1896. Made of cast iron with three internal reels, a slot for taking in coins and an external lever for activating the machine, it quickly became a staple of saloons, gambling houses and even many retail stores (where patrons would trade their winnings for goods from the store – hence the term "trade goods").
Today, no casino would be complete without the gleaming rows of the one-armed bandits. Slot Machines have expanded from the original design to today's multiple offerings – multi-line slots, video slots, and poker slots have become the new favorites, making the Slot Machine one of the most popular casino games today.
Each reel has a number of symbols on it (typically 10 to 20 – but it varies greatly depending on the machine), and pulling the lever causes the reels to spin quickly. When the reels slow down independently, each will randomly display one of the symbols through a viewing window in the machine. Depending on the combination of symbols showing, the player will win different payout amounts – often many times the original bet.
Multi-line machines offer the additional attraction of multiple win lines. In a multi-line machine, the player can bet additional coins to activate extra lines, enabling him to win on multiple symbol combinations.
When you are finished playing, you can click COINS OUT to exchange your coin Credits for Casino chips. As the coins come out of the machine, the number of Credits will be multiplied by the coin value setting ($0.25, $1 or $5) and the resulting amount will be added to your Casino Account balance.
Each slot machine game offers exciting, fast-paced fun. Be sure to try them all!
