The gambling game slots have been the subject of a lot of controversy especially within states that restrict gambling or more specifically these machines in particular. Since the economy is in a threatened state most of these restrictions are being lifted. After Katrina, some states lifted restrictions completely for casinos operating offshore and now allow them on land. Some states still restrict slots to their horse tracks or even riverboats.
During the 20th century America banned gambling all together. But it wasn't long until this ban was lifted and gambling legalized. This spawned Americas first legal casinos and Las Vegas Nevada began its journey to become the gambling capitol in the U.S. Slots started out as simple machines and most were located within stores and paid out in goods within the store itself. The Fruit Machine even paid out in chewing gum and the symbols matched the flavors of gum available.
Now these machines pay out in cash. Slots located within casinos have regulated payout percentages and due to the cost of operation these payouts are around 75%. Fortunately for online players slot machines will payout 98% due to low operating costs. Gamblers can always find loose slot machines in almost any casino. These machines are used as an attraction for players to keep trying these games. Loose slot machines have a much larger payout percentage but they are sometimes hard to find. Online slots could be considered loose slots since the payout is so much larger at all times.
