The history of slot machines goes way back. It all started with plywood boxes with metal handles that would start the rotation of the reels. The principle of the game then with hitting three identical symbols in the same pay line is the same as the slot machines that we know today. But since the first slot machines appeared, or Spielautomaten as they are called in German, a huge development has taken place.    

The biggest difference is probably the jump from physical reels to virtual reels. In other words the jump from hardware to software. Thanks to technology there are so many more possibilities that would be difficult to offer with a mechanical machine.

In the old days playing was fun like it is today. But the modern slot machines, which you know from the online casinos, offer so much more: 50 pay lines, Scatter-symbols, bonus rounds, surprise bonuses, impressive graphics and cool and realistic sound effects. And let’s not forget the breathtaking number of different themes: African safari, musical, adventures on the Nile or sizzling hot ... Just think of a theme and you can be sure to find a slot machine with that exact theme!

Unlike the old slot machines, you do not have to worry about having the right coins on you to fill the machine. Let your wallet stay in your pocket and play for the bonus you got after your first deposit.

The icing on the cake is, however, the progressive jackpot pools that continue to rise to breathtaking heights (often to seven figured amounts) - the bigger they are the more players want to try their luck with the progressive jackpots and that makes them grow even faster.
