9 FACTS YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT CASINO SLOTS

By Kendall Jenkins on 2019-11-13 08:13:00

Slot machines are a special type of gambling entertainment, perhaps the most democratic, affordable and, so to speak, harmless. Unlike casinos, with poker and roulette, teens often play slot machines, and many of those who play slots are far from gambling in general. The bets here can be of truly ridiculous amounts - just a penny. Along with this, often the lucky gamblers can still receive significant monetary rewards. A lot of interesting things are connected with rubyslots, and some facts about them are not known to everyone.

Slot machines for blind players

Blind people can also play and win. Bally Gaming Systems has long created a series of slots for people with visual impairments. In these devices, the buttons are equipped with special markings that the blind can recognize by touch, and all the results of the game are accompanied by sound comments.

It is still unknown who was the first to invent the gaming machine

Authorship is attributed to both inventor Gustav Schulz and mechanic Charles Fey. Historians cannot come to a consensus on this issue.

The first famous slot machine was stolen

When Charles Fey, the same developer to whom many attribute the invention of the first slot machine, created the famous Liberty Bell slot in 1905, it was abducted by intruders whose purpose, as it later turned out, was to produce similar gaming slot.

The frontman of the Motörhead group used slot machines in order not to go bankrupt

The famous British musician Lemmy Kilmister for a long time, held noisy parties in his mansion almost every day. He could more than compensate the cost of such a luxurious life, thanks to the slots. Kilmister specially bought a lot of slot machines and placed them everywhere in his huge house. Such an investment helped him to pay off all the costs of organizing parties, and, besides, making them brighter and more interesting.

In Germany, it was forbidden to put slot machines close to each other

Before the total ban on gambling in the country, a funny ban on placing slot machines at a distance of less than one meter from each other appeared in the bill of the German government. It turned out that this arrangement reduces the chances of players to get a well-deserved win.

Slots and gambling sponsoring presidency campaign

The illustrious president of the United States, Richard Nixon, was a very gambling man and a big fan of slots. It turns out that one of the most influential people in America could not have imagined one day without a game. Even while serving in the army, Richard managed to win so much money from his army colleagues that they were enough to launch his first election campaign.

Slots for candies

Noting the great success of slot machines among the population, in early 1920, the US government issued a decree banning such entertainment. As a result, the famous “fruitmachines” appeared - slots that instead of cash prizes, gave out chewing gums and sweets with fruit flavors. Surprisingly, this move only increased the profits of slot owners.

Huge cash win

The largest win in the history of slot machines is 34 969 758 US dollars! That is how much a married couple from the Americans Terry Brennan and Cynthia Joy received. The newlyweds celebrated their wedding anniversary at the casino of the Dizert Inn hotel and having spent only 28 minutes playing, and they won the biggest jackpot in history!

Germany again

Curious laws regarding slot machines have long been in force in Germany. The government of this country prohibits players from losing more than $ 80 per hour playing one slot.
