It is easy to see why casinos like slot machines so much. The slot machines take up very little floor space, break time is only when they
do breakdown and that is rare for a machine. The breakdowns are handled quickly by a slots techician, usually just a simple computer board change is involved and the faulty machine is back in business. There is no way that casino management could have ever predicted the popularity of the slot machine today. All management has done is provide the gamblers with what they want, and believe it or not, slot machines are now one of the most popular of all casino games.
In this day and age, it would not be fair to refer to slot machines as "one armed bandits". We all know, most machines do have that big old handle that earned it it's name but, if all you want to do is push buttons, you don't need that handle at all. Sit down, get comfortable, it is up to you, if you want to feed the machine at the beginning of each spin of the wheels or you can simply insert the bill of your choice and select "bet max".
The interesting question is, we know casino management could not have made these machines as popular as they are. What is it about slot machines that grab and hold the gamblers attention for such a long period of time? This time period I am referring to started in the mid 1900's and continues to grow to this day.
Do many people consider gambling to be entertainment? Entertainment, for most of us, is something that does not require alot of "brain work". After a long day, we feel the brain deserves a rest and our forms of entertainment usually include this. The slot machine enters the picture and for many, this must be what they were looking for.
Slots do offer the opportunity for a big payout. This may be one of the factors that has lead to the huge popularity of these machines. Some of the jackpots on the progressive machines exceed 10 million dollars. I do play the lotteries when the pots get big and a slot machine gives me a way of playing for a huge pot just by taking one more spin of the wheels. The size of the progressive is one of the major factors that has assisted the rising use of slot machines by gamblers.
The ringing of the bells may have helped the continued rise in popularity. Maybe it is the graphics on the wheels and could be the lights. There is also the possibility that the names of the machines are what draw the gamblers to sit down and play. I think it is fair to say, that it is not just one factor that has led to what the slot machine is today, it is a combination of all of the above and more.
Sit down, relax and don't gamble with more money than you can afford to lose.

slots pay from left to right and right to left. The symbols have to lie consecutively, starting from the leftmost or rightmost reel, to qualify as hits. If you have five symbols in a row, you are only paid once. The gopher, duck and catfish symbols are scatter symbols – when you get 3 or more of these symbols (of the same kind) on the screen during one round, lying consecutively, you enter the bonus round. The symbols don't have to follow any pay line, meaning they can be on any position on the reel. In the bonus game, choose a driver, an iron and then a putter. You will win a prize based on these three clubs you choose. If you entered the bonus game with four scatter symbols and not just three, your prize is tripled. If you entered with five scatter symbols, your prize is multiplied by ten.
The object of Super 7 5-Reel
9-Line Progressive Slots is to obtain a winning combination by
spinning the reels. You can bet from 1 to 45 coins. The COIN
VALUE may also be changed from as low as 1¢ to a maximum of $1.00. Your wager is placed on each line, up
to 5 coins per line. Wins are recorded from the left side of
the machine to the right. Winning totals vary depending on the
symbols you have lined up. Also, if you receive 2 or more scatter
symbols anywhere on the screen, you win the corresponding prize
form 2X to 500X your bet. The Super 7 symbol is wild and completes
winning combinations with 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols. Five
Super 7 symbols on max bet wins the progressive jackpot. Within
the game, click on the PAY TABLE button to see the winning combinations
and paylines.
