I-slot Mania? What’s it all about?
By Jean Real

As you’d expect every now and then there are great leaps forward in every technology and online slot machines were no exception. The innovative I-Slots series have transformed the very nature of slot machines. Superior Casino is proud to be at the epicenter of this new and exciting epoch; and guess what, you’ll be part of each step of the way!

Traditionally, slot machines required an effortless pull of the lever (or click of a button) while you quietly sit for a random result. This is no longer the case for I-slot machines. With the inclusion of storylines to the game, multiple plot endings chosen by the player, bonus rounds that require your skill and imagination, and laugh-out-loud animations; you’ll be in for quite a ride!

The last couple of weeks we’ve been describing the curious affairs of El Paradiso, the scene of As the Reels Turn, a favorite I-Slot game amongst our customers. Not only does it have three different bonus rounds when getting three scattered icons during any spin, you can also advance from scene to scene and unwind the mysterious plot. For every two scenes you advance there will be an extra bonus round, a golden opportunity to earn thousands and thousands of chips!

Our goal is for you to get maximum entertainment value for every spin, but that’s not all. Here’s a tip to help you load-up on some casino chips!

TIP: Been spinning those I-slots reels and haven’t had a bonus round for a while. It’s very likely it will come soon. Raise your coin value, from say, $0.01 to $0.05 and spin for five turns with that higher value. Why? Because if that bonus round is just about to come you will win the bonus round chips in the higher denomination. You know what that means, more money in your pocket longer playtime! Try this until you get the hang of it. If the bonus round doesn’t come while you raised the bets, return to your normal betting level and wait a while until you raise it again. When that bonus round finally comes around you’ll be happy to win 500 coins in 5 cents value rather than a penny each.

HOW DID SLOT MACHINES GET THEIR START?
By Charles Jay

Over the years, slot machines have come to be known as a universal symbol for gambling; Most members of the general public only have to take one look at the machine itself and they will invariably identify it with the pastime. Indeed, the “one-armed bandit” has become a part of Americana.

The machine, of course, represents a game that is not only one of the most popular with players but has also become a cultural phenomenon.

So how did the slot machine get its start?

You’d have to go back all the way to the 19th Century.

A company called Sittman and Pitt – located in Brooklyn, New York – developed a machine in 1891, containing five “drums” with fifty card faces. In a way, you could equate it with a five-card stud game, where ultimately the best poker hand won.

The new machines met with tremendous popularity in hospitality establishments around New York City, and prizes were given out to winners by the bar and restaurant owners themselves because no money was paid directly out of the machine. Although it laid the groundwork for the development of the slot machine, it really was more like the predecessor of the video poker machine.

The slot machine, in the general way we are familiar with it, had its origin in the city of San Francisco, courtesy of Charles Fey, a mechanic who developed it in his humble shop. The San Francisco Chronicle documented a demonstration Fey made for this new machine in 1887, but exact reports are a little sketchy.

He used the term “slot machine” to describe the device, a designation which confused some people, since that was also the word used for a vending machine – the type that dispensed cigarettes, for example. It wasn’t long, however, before there was no mistaking it at all.

Fey was the inventor of the original three-reel slot machine. Those reels had ten different symbols on them – spades, diamonds and hearts were derived from card decks; there were also horseshoes and bells. And on each of the reels there appeared a cracked Liberty Bell symbol. because this was so identifiable, the machine came to be known as the “Liberty Bell machine.”

It process was familiar – the player put a coin into it, pulled a handle, and the reels started to move. They would stop automatically, and would pay off three in a row on the center line. The big payoff was achieved when three Liberty Bells in a row were realized, at which point the player got 50 cents for the effort.

Of course, it’s a little different today, with multiple paylines and the evolution of different symbols and icons and – with the I-Slots that have become a staple at Superior Casino – characters and storylines. But it all had to begin somewhere.

We’ll have more information on the history of slots as we progress. For now, log on to Superior Casinoand enjoy the great casino game in its state of the art!
