Slot machines are now the biggest revenue producer, by far, in the online casino industry. For the player, they provide an easy and exciting way to gamble and instant gratification for as little as a penny. The advantages for the casino are enormous and they continue to search for new ways to market slot machines.

This website provides an overview of slot machines and slot machine play from the player’s perspective, with an emphasis on playing strategies and money management techniques.

Welcome to the World of Slots

When you walk into a busy casino, the first thing you hear is the distinctive ‘ding-ding-ding’ of a winning slot pull. Periodically you will hear the distinctive, happy ‘clang’ of tokens dropping into the tray. Look up and you will see row upon row of brightly lit and coloured slot machines, marching off into the distance.

At one time, slots were regarded by casino operators as devices to keep the “little woman” occupied while her escort played real games like craps or blackjack. As time went on, of course, slots became more popular with men and women. With the increased in popularity came an increase in profitability and the casinos, quick to notice a good thing, started to install more slot machines in their gaming rooms. First by the hundreds, and then by the thousands. Today, slots dominate casino play, vying for space with, and in many cases pushing out the table games. Slot machines are now being installed in racetracks and riverboats. Casinos that are really just ‘slot houses’ have sprung up all over North America.

Not only has the number of slots in use increased, but the variety being manufactured is stunning. The old three reel slot machine has evolved into a plethora of electro-mechanical and wholly electronic machines. Payouts have increased from $25 jackpots to thousands and even millions of dollars paid out on progressive slots. So-called themed slot machines based on games like Monopoly or television shows or entertainers like Elvis have gained prominence on casino floors. The variety of slots and payout combinations facing the modern slot player is incredible.

For the occasional or average player, this website will help explain some of the inside stories of slots and other electronic games. For those who possess the discipline, patience, and desire to play the slots on a higher than recreational level, the information contained here will be helpful and profitable.
