The world of slot machine gambling, limited to a few geographical areas
by law, remained unchanged for decades. This is how the world of slot
machines came to be and existed until 1980 when Bally Manufacturing changed
the picture with an electronic slot machine that included multiple coin
play and more payout combinations. This particular version became more
or less a basic framework to be imitated by others. In the 1990s the
competitive market swelled to accommodate the growth of casino gaming
in the United States. Machines became more complex, including enticing
graphics, movie and video clips, second-chances, hidden jackpots, a variety
of progressives.
For the most part, the typical, old-fashioned real reel machine bit
the dust and was replaced by a video screen that simulates reels. Today,
these multiple payoff lines and payoffs provided by myriad machine makers,
are-because they have to be--totally controlled by a computer chip.

I had a white rat named Elmo who didn't get fed until he learned to press
a bar in his cage. Whenever he pressed it, a pellet fell into his dish.
Elmo quickly learned to press the bar when he got hungry.
Then one day we (the professor and the rest of us budding psychologists)
changed the rules. Sometimes we gave Elmo dinner when he pressed the bar
- and sometimes we didn't. poor Elmo no longer knew when to expect his food.
So you know what he did? He pounded that bar relentlessly until the food
finally came. Sound familiar?
The biggest lesson we learned from Elmo was that if you want to make
behavior stick, don't reward it all the time - reward it now and then.
This strategy is called random reinforcement, and it's the same principle
at work on us when we play slot machines.
