The Evolution of Slot Machines: Then and now
Innovation is a fact of life in today’s slot machine industry.

Slot innovations started with San Francisco mechanic Charles Fey’s Liberty Bell in 1895 and have never stopped.
Let’s take a look at some of the most important slot machines that have led us to the modern era.

If you ask a slot player what makes a great slot floor, they will likely suggest features such as wide aisles between machines, upbeat background music, high ceilings and good ventilation so they don’t have to play in a smoke filled box. They also like great cocktail service and convenient restaurants located near the floor.
This year’s Top Slot Floors consists of properties that portray many of these features and should be on every slot players list to visit.
