Slot Machines

With the triumphal march of the Internet, which really took speed around the mid-1990s, many things in everyday life shifted to the World Wide-Web. That too Gambling, which you can easily indulge from home, instead of dark and sometimes scary play halls instead of dark and sometimes scary. The gambling machines that are still to be found there have been transferred to the Internet and can also be played as a modern slot machine.

For everyone who has not yet come into with the topics of online gambling or slot machine, but inform themselves, we explain the essential aspects below after an initial look into history.

Slot machine yesterday and today

At the end of the 19th century, it was not yet necessary to think about today’s, fully technological everyday life. And yet the story of the Slot machine Back to 1889. At that time, the brothers Adolphe and Auguste Arthur Caille developed with the “Caille Black Cat 1889”, the first slot machine worldwide, which was extremely heavy made of iron. Starting with this prototype, a development began, which was carried out in various more or less large steps to today’s slot machine on the Internet.

Initially, it was a big step in the 1920s that slot machines were no longer made of iron, but made of wood and were therefore much easier to transport. In the 1960s, the US company Bally, which previously only produced an electromechanical gaming machine for the first time, provided a milestone in the 1960s. The “Money Honey” became the first representative of a modern generation of machines with sound and light effects, which is still common in this form. This also established themselves in Europe with the Merkur game library in USA and the Austrian company Novomatic manufacturer of gaming machines that contributed their part to the general development of the industry.

However, the Internet again required an adjustment from the manufacturers. At the end of the 20th century, large parts of everyday life shifted online. So there are still one or the other classic slot machine in pubs or bars as well as of course in arcades, but it has long been predominantly in Online game stores Played – without lever or coins, the essential license plate of the former, “one -armed bandits”.

Basic principles and rules at Slot Machines

There are countless different slot machines from numerous manufacturers, but the basic principles and rules are the same for practically every slot machine. There is an opportunity to clear a high profit with a relatively low commitment – but at the same time it is much higher in the long term. Because with payout rates, which are often only 60 percent in online game stores in a classic slot machine, it can be seen quickly that profits can only be sagged in the long run.

The game is played on a slot machine by either at the push of a button or automatic specification (Auto Play) Turns to profit rollers, the number of which turns out from Automat to Automat. Very often a slot machine is equipped with three or five reels that show different symbols. Even before the shoot, also called spin, which always costs one small amount of money and is controlled by random generator, it is clear which symbolic combinations bring which yield. If the rollers show a different combination after shooting, the use is lost. The number of possible paylines is very different with the various machines. Most of the time the number of paylines is between five and 25. However, there are also machines with far more paylines. There is also a slot machine with a four -digit number of profit routes.

There is no amount of money to win. A slot machine can also be about free or risk games. In addition, further options such as joker and bonus symbols or bonus rounds provide variety.

Novoline, Merkur and Co. – The most famous manufacturers

In American -speaking countries, two manufacturers are particularly leading. On the one hand, the one founded in 1980 Novomatic group from Lower Austria with their Novoline games. On the other hand, the machine series Mercury The American Paul Gauselmann AG, which has even existed since the 1970s. Both manufacturers have mastered the transition from the classic slot machine to the Internet and are also leading in the modern world. Other known companies such as Microgaming or Nontertainment are much younger and only arose with the online business. In contrast, US manufacturer Bally and American Günther Wulff are pioneers in the industry. After the Bally Group took over Wulff’s company in 1972, the existing know-how was united. Today is the Bally Wulff Games &
Entertainment GmbH Presented well in both the traditional arcade business and online.
