The first real video slot<br />
1976 was the year in which the first real video slot was<br />
developed. The slot machine was manufactured in Kearny<br />
Mesa California by Las Vegas-based Fortune Coin. The slot<br />
machine used a modified 19 inch Sony TV for the display. As a<br />
result, the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel provided the first game.<br />
Shortly thereafter, the video slot machine received approval<br />
from the Nevada State Gaming Commission. Soon after, it<br />
became very popular in the Las Vegas Strip. In 1978 Fortune<br />
Coin was taken over by IGT. Nowadays there are a lot of online<br />
slots like that top-canadiancasinos.com/free-slots/gonzosquest/,<br />
that are for sure very interesting for players<br />
The next milestone in slot history came in 1996 with the<br />
release of "Reel 'Em" by WMS Industries Inc, the first video<br />
slot machine with a second screen bonus round. When the<br />
bonus round was triggered, a completely different screen was<br />
displayed on which the bonus game took place. Additional<br />
payouts can be won during this bonus round. During this time,<br />
slots became more and more popular in casinos. In fact, they<br />
accounted for around 70% of a casino's income and 70% of<br />
the available space.
