The classic 3 reel slot machine truly is just that, its a classic. It all began with a simple 3 cylinder crude type slot machine. You will just merely pull the handle and if three characters the same all lined up then you are a winner. The original graphics were merely 3 liberty bells.

This elementary machines shortly caught the attention of anyone that had a heart for gambling. In the starting though they did not pay out money, they were just played for enjoyment. That soon changed and it wasn’t long before you can gain a bit of a prize off of them. In the beginning the machine owners would put up their individual prizes for the winners. Perhaps a drink on the house would be an offering.

Then from there they evolved into real money pay outs. They progressed where there were other symbols that you can align and if you did they you would win some sort of prize. Then jack-pots were attached to them. The bets began to vary. You could play as little as a quarter a game or seventy-five cents to bet the max. It was enticing to place the maximum bet because if you did not and you happened to line-up the 3 bells then you wouldnt win the jackpot. You would still win some type of nice prize money though.

It wasn’t long before a good deal more graphics were added to the world of slot-machines. In todays casinos you would find almost every type of graphic you can think of. For illustration there’re ones for movie stars and singers like Kenny Rogers. On the numbers there are pictures of Kenny Rogers, so if you line up 3 pictures the same as him, then you’re a winner. Or perhaps theres a bonus symbol, which acts as a wild card, and so if you got two Kenny Rogers plus 1 bonus symbol then it would be same as having three of him.

After a short while there came the five reel. In the starting this’s a really exciting slot machine and a nice change from the classic three wheel. With this machine you can win five different ways. There’s a top-line, a middle line, a bottom line, then 2 lines corner to corner. This’s how it became known as the five line classic reel slot. Youve more chances to win but it is going to cost you alot more to play all five lines. You dont have to play the 5 lines, as a matter of fact you could play just 1. If it’s a twenty-five cent a line machine then to play all the lines it would cost you a $1.25.

Aside from the number of lines the 5 line and classic 3 reel slot-machines, they are essentially the same when it comes to the theory and the ways of winning. Either way theyre both most amusing and exciting games to play.
