Casino Slots : More popular than any other casino game.

Who can believe that slots machines were just a way to distract the women of famous and wealthy men in the gambling capital of the world, Las Vegas. While the men played games such as blackjack, poker, roulette and craps the women were given a few dollars to play the girly slots games and to leave them alone to concentrate.

Since the days of the Rat Pack casino slots have been enjoying the high life and have enjoyed many years at the top as the most played casino games. The slots games that we now see in online casino are based on the original slots games from land-based casinos but with one difference: You don't see Harley Davidson MotorCycles or a Farrari spinning over the top of giant 10-reel slots machines in an online casino as you do in Las Vegas. Apart from this minor difference, what you see in land-based casino can also be seen online.

With the advanced technology we have today, online casino software providers can emulate any slots machine and make it available to play online. There are thousands of different online slots for slot lovers to play in various casinos. One of the best software providers is Playtech and when you see the quality of the games you can understand whay many of the online casinos choose to have Playtech as their casino software provider.

There are many pros and cons between land based and online casinos. Having been to Vegas I was amazed at the size of the casinos and the slots rooms in particular. The other thing to grab me was the jackpot machines with cars and motor bikes spinning above them. They are the prize for hitting the jackpot.

You can see what I mean in the image below.

Land based casinos heve rows upon rows of slot machines in a room the size of a 747 hanger. I tried to put a quarter in to a slots machine only to be shouted at by some blue haired granny telling me she was playing on 10 machines at once and not to touch her machines.

Put a few quarters in to a slot machine and the next thing you have playboy girls serving you free drinks all day. You can spend hours playing slots for a few dollars but get free drinks all the while you are playing. Sounds perfect to me.

The atmosphere is great and the noise of the different machines is thrilling and the times you hear the slots paying out can also lift your spirits. The one to wait for is the 4th of July slots show which is when the million dollar jackpot has been hit and the place lights up like, well, the 4th of July.

When this jackpot goes off you are surrounded by several casino security staff who promptly take you to the managers office to be presented with a suitcase with $1m dollars in it. If you need an escort to the bank then this is also offered to you. Would you say no? You aint gonna get far without it.

When it comes to playing slots machines in casinos you really are getting the best entertainment for your dollar.
