On average, one third of
casino's total revenue is generated by Slot machines. Compared to other casino games such as Baccarat, Blackjack, Craps and Roulette, Slot machines have a number of advantages which explain their popularity among casino players. Some of these advantages include
following:Easy to understand:
The Slot machine is probably
easiest game to understand and play. One simply decides on how much money to place on each bet, and how many lines to bet on, before pressing a button. There are absolutely no skills required.
Cheaper to play:
Unlike a game of Blackjack or Roulette, where
minimum bet costs a few dollars, Slot machines offer
player minimum bets ranging from one cent to a few dollars per spin, therefore allowing
person to play up to one hundred games for only one dollar.
Play at your own pace:
There is no time limit between spins. A player may take one minute or one hour between each spin without experiencing
pressure of having to quickly place a bet before
next game begins. This means that
games can last as long as
player wishes.
Large variety of game themes:
There are literally hundreds of Slot machine designs with many different game themes, graphics, lights and sound features. While
nature of
game is basically
same from one slot machine to another, being able to choose from a wide variety of different game themes makes each Slot machine seem rather unique.
Single player game:
Since it is a single player game, there is no pressure to play against others. One does not need to interact with any other person during
course of
game. This is a particularly attractive advantage for persons who are very shy or unable to speak
language.
