Slots and pokies are two terms used to describe the world's most popular casino products. Most slots are played online, but in places such as Las Vegas and across the United States’ tribal and commercial casinos, slots is played avidly. There are over 900,000 physical slot machines in the U.S. alone.

Slot machines were invented in San Francisco in 1894. They were mechanical until 1976. Electronic slots became the norm after that. They are popular in most countries except those that ban gambling. Today, the biggest game developers are International Gaming Technology, Konami, WMS Industries and many others.

Australia is one of the biggest consumers of slot machines. Up until the 1950s, there was not much about slot games in Australia. Now, Aussie players are some of most prolific and smartest in the world. They know that playing games with a low theoretical return (RTP) does not benefit them.

Slots are not designed to win but they still manage to pay out a pretty penny. The industry is trying to comply with the RTP. The RPP is established to give some estimate of what to expect and how likely a scenario is.

There are many slot games where you can score big. The games are variations of the traditional electronic slots introduced in the 1980s. They have many improvements that make the gameplay worthwhile for individual players.
