Casino Slots

Casino slot machines are gambling machines with three or more number of reels that spin on pushing a button. Initially, casino slots were operated by a lever on one side of machine. This lever gave the name of ‘one armed bandits’ to casino slots. This lever was eventually replaced by the button on the front panel as can be seen on recent versions of casino slot machines. Some modern versions of casino slot machines continue to retain the lever in addition  to the button. All online casino slots have a currency detector that validates money or coins that are inserted while playing.

Pay offs are calculated based on result of spin. Online casino slots are by far the most popular gambling method and constitutes for more than 70% of income of land based casinos.
