It has to be noted that Las Vegas wasn’t always the neon star of night life that people know today; in fact, in fact it used to be a humble little water stop in the middle of the Nevada desert. The beginning of its evolution can be traced back to the completion of the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad in 1905 which saw it gradually develop into a flourishing little town.

Its explosive growth into modern day Vegas was triggered by the legalisation of gambling by Nevada in 1931 and the building of the Hoover Dam nearby. Unrelated on the surface, the two events are in fact linked: the thousands of workers involved in the dam’s construction needed somewhere they could relax… and there was no better place for them to spend their free time than the burgeoning casinos of Vegas.

The city really began to take off when the El Rancho Vegas resort opened in 1941, an event which also made it the first hotel-casino on a stretch of Highway 91 that is better known now as ‘The Strip’. Soon enough, more and more hotel-casinos sprouted all around Vegas, further cementing its growing reputation as a gambling vacation hotspot. It helped that Los Angeles at the time had been cracking down hard on illegal gambling so there were plenty of casino operators searching for a new place to set up shop. The answer was obvious: Where else but the tax haven that is Nevada with its own little established casino city?

This budding potential to earn money and evade taxes caught the eye of infamous mobster Bugsy Siegel who opened The Flamingo in 1947 and brought in top talent to entice more guests to his casino. Even after his death later that year, his vision for Vegas as a gambling and entertainment centre lived on.

More mobsters flocked to Vegas, more resorts were opened and more popular performers came to entertain the masses thanks to the mobs’ nightclub connections from the big cities. The likes of Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland took the stage at Vegas’ iconic hotels, making the city the hottest place to be every night, and that trend continues today with the latest generation of entertainers.

By the late 1960s, the mob had been displaced by corporate conglomerates but the Strip continued its transformation at nearly breakneck speed. Massive mega-casinos took the place of older establishments, bringing things to the next level in the process with their themed entertainment that further added to Vegas’ already larger-than-life character.

Throughout all this change, however, one thing remained the same – the one thing that made Las Vegas the casino haven that it is today – and that is the sea of slots you’ll find the second you step into any of the casinos there. It’s not called the Gambling Capital of the World for nothing, after all.

Most table games trace their origins back several centuries and even the roulette wheel dates all the way back to the 18th century, making slot machines the youngest ‘classic’ casino game in existence. However, this hasn’t stopped it from being considered the defining element of casinos by most if not all individuals who are even remotely familiar with casinos.

Interestingly, even though the same is said about slots and Vegas, the birth and development of slot machines happened quite a distance away from the desert where Vegas is located. Invented at the end of the 19th century by a Bavarian-born mechanic living in San Francisco, the first slot machine then underwent a long and at times somewhat troubled transformation. At every stage, an element that we now consider an integral part of the modern slot machine – and by extension online slots – was added.

First came the automatic payout mechanism which removed the need for a human attendant who gave out the relevant prize in the form of tickets which could be exchanged for goods or more tokens. Then the slot machine was improved to reward coins directly instead of tickets or tokens. Five reels were cut down to just three, and at the same time the slot machine’s signature staggered stop mechanism and iconic bell symbol – modelled after none other than the Liberty Bell itself – were introduced.

A ban on slot machines in California where they were flourishing followed, but instead of killing the invention it led to new variations being created elsewhere. Having to return to rewarding players with some free credits or goods instead of real money, one batch of slot machines was in turn influenced by its rewards: fruit-flavoured gum. Thus was born the old school fruit symbols which once again many consider to be the ‘original’ slot symbols even though playing card-based slot symbols predate them. Incidentally, this is also the how the now iconic BAR symbol came to be, not to mention the trend of referring to slot machines as ‘fruit machines’.

Real cash prizes came back with the creation of the first fully electromechanical slot machine in 1963 but it was just over a decade later when slot history was well and truly wedded to Vegas history. This momentous occasion was the invention of the video slot machine in 1976 by Las Vegas-based company Fortune Coin Co. Despite its use of a screen to display digital reels, the system was still housed in a standard slot machine cabinet to maintain the classic slot aesthetic. Now these modern slots are everywhere in Vegas, their riches waiting to be won with a literal push of a button.

With the birth of the internet came the birth of the online casino which automatically led to the birth of online slots. No longer bound by physical limitations like screen size, these online slot games kept pushing the boundaries on every level from the number of reels to the introduction of mechanics a physical slot machine would never be capable of executing.

Ironically, this allowed an old element of slot machines to find new life: the free credits system in the form of fun money, otherwise called free money. With this, players could try out any online slot free of charge until they decide they’re ready to sink real money into it. Even better, there are free spins and respins which essentially give players additional chances to win free of charge.

Everyone comes to Vegas to have fun regardless of what kind of fun that might be but there’s another type of fun we bet you’ve never considered: learning cool facts. Here are some fun facts about Sin City you probably didn’t know before this:

• The Strip isn’t actually located within the city limits of Las Vegas.
• It's a foodie haven so people come here to eat as much as they come to gamble.
• Vegas is considered the brightest place on Earth thanks to its millions of lights.

There’s naturally much more to learn but you’ll have to stick around here at EddyVegas to find out about all of them.
