Background of the host

Most casino games have appeared in popular culture, being featured in songs, movies, games, television shows, etc. This is also true for slots, but has created the opposite phenomenon of slots based on elements of popular culture.

In 1997, International Game Technology (IGT) started the modern trend of making slots themed around pop culture. Their "Wheel of Fortune" machine was licensed from the popular American television competition of the same name, and a special bonus round included images and sounds from the show. They also started making celebrity-licensed slot machines, such as the Elvis series that began in 1998.

Slots in casinos around the world are based on the most famous celebrities in their culture. Starting with "Wheel of Fortune" ("La Rueda de la Fortuna" in Spain), most slots are based on TV shows such as "Jeopardy", "American Idol", "The Amazing Race" and "The Price is Right" ("The Fair Price" in Spain). "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" and other movies have their own slots, such as Forrest Gump, The Good, the Ugly, the Bad, Sex in New York, The Price of Power, Star Trek, Star Wars, The Very Honest Blonde, Rocky, and Avatar. After Elvis, other famous people have attended the reception, such as Marilyn Monroe, Elton John, Dolly Parton, Michael Jackson, and martial artists Andre the Giant and Bruce Lee. Italian jockey Frankie Dettori's feat of winning seven "magic" races in one day at Ascot inspired the Frankie Dettori Magic Seven machine. There are also slot machines themed around Hulkamania, The Hoff (David Hasselhoff), and other famous talk shows hosted by Ellen DeGeneres. Slot Technology

Traditional Mechanical Machines

The slot was basically the same mechanism from the invention in the late 19th century to the early 1960s. The coin unlocks the lever on the side of the machine. Next, when the player operates the lever, the cylinder rotates. Third, reels containing a series of symbols stop in order. (The plate in the rotating ring corresponding to the symbol stops in order from left to right. If you stop in the combination of victory, the sewing machine is aligned, the coin input is active, and the winning amount is payout. Ta.

At first, these three reels were initially drawn with 10 symbols, so there were 1, 000 combinations (10 Г— 10 Г— 10). Another innovation of the first generation was a reel with 20 symbols. Each reel has a capture of 20, and the 3rd reel throws 8. 000 possible combinations (20 Г— 20 Г— 20), which provides more variety of dividend victory.

Electronic machine

In the 1960s, BALLY MANUFACTURING (starting in a slot in Money Honey in 1963) was the first manufacturer to introduce an electronic function in the slot: Rolling device (RNG), mult i-coin game, instead of turning the reel by hand. Multiple lines and video screen. Instead of turning reels by hand, random number generation (RNG), mult i-coin game, multiple lines and video screens. After entering a coin (or in most cases, a ticket or ticket that represents the same credit as cash value), the player selects the number of credits to be played. The moment the player clicks the machine surface button (or a machine that contains a lever strip), the game processor converts a symbol that displays the RNG function.

When symbols appear on a video screen or on mechanical reels that are programmed to stop according to the results of the RNG, the machine pays out winning combinations.

Electronic machines have transformed slots without losing the peak of ritual and tradition that made them so popular. First, the RNG determines the outcome instantly, but the program can recreate the visual and even acoustic experience of traditional machines. Second, because the RNG allows for billions of combinations, manufacturers can offer huge payouts in multi-coin progressive machines like Megabucks in Nevada (USA Uu.). Third, coins are disappearing, giving way to chitos (tickets, tickets, import-export tickets). Instead of carrying buttons, cubes, gloves and hand sanitizers, players can import tickets that represent cash or coins. Slots accumulate and allocate credits according to the game. When the credits run out, players receive tickets in exchange for the remaining credits.

Famous special prizes The first slot was the Liberty Bell de Charles Fay, created in the last decade of the 19th century. The maximum payout was 20 coins if the Liberty Bells were aligned on all cylinders. In 1900, a machine designed by Herbert Mills could pay out up to 100 coins, which were dispensed one by one through a tube. The first modern slot machine, Money Honey by Boly Manufacturing (1963), included electronic components and a hopper that could hold 2. 500 coins. With the development of progressive special prizes in the 1980s, slots became more popular and the size of the special prizes increased by linking the payouts between machines. The most famous progressive slot is Megabucks by International Gaming Technology (IGT), introduced in 1986, which is responsible for many of the largest payouts in slots history. When a player inserts up to three coins and each reel stops on the Megabucks logo, the player wins a special cumulative prize.

Meanwhile, 16 years later, Sherwin had incredible luck on Megabucks. On September 19, 2005, he won his second special prize on the machine.

$27, 000, 000: On November 15, 1998, at Palace Station in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA), a 67-year-old retired flight hostess won the first Megabucks special prize of over $20 million. 60 $.
