Slot machines, Poker
machines and Fruit machines are the same machines in
American English, Australian English and
British English respectively, and are all casino games. All these varieties
of slot machines are coin-operated with three or more reels that spin when a
lever on the side of the machine is pulled, giving them the slang name of “one-armed
bandits”. The machines include a currency detector that validates the coin or
money inserted by the player.
The machine typically pays odds based on the alignment and patterns of symbols
visible on the front of the machine when the reels stop spinning. Today’s modern
computer technology has resulted in many changes to the old concepts and configurations
of slot machines. Slot machines are popular attractions in casinos and occupy
large floor areas. |
