"Slot machines have been around since 1887 when San Francisco inventor Charles Fey built a machine featuring three wheels decorated with symbols like diamonds, hearts, and bells, which triggered the jackpot."

"Slot machines are the bread and butter of the casino industry, accounting for three quarters of casino profits. All slot machines are pre-programmed to keep a portion of the cash put into them."

"Ideally, all bets should be made with chips. However, casinos will allow one-time bets made with cash. To confirm this bet, the dealer will say, 'money plays'. if you win, you will receive your winnings in casino chips."

"Every reel on a slot machine has a certain number of stops which contain either symbols or nothing. While machines with physical reels usually have 22 stops, virtual slot machines can have hundreds of stops."

"The stickman stands across from the dealers and uses a long stick to move the dice around. He directs the flow of the game, calls the roll, and controls bets in the centre section."
