Nearly everyone knows the term “one-armed bandit”. Even if you have never been to any casino in your whole life, neither virtual one or land-based, you surely have heard that popular name of gaming machines. However, online gambling games have changed completely through history. We are speaking not only about the gameplay or mechanics but also about the graphics and all the visual aspects of the game. You cannot play with legendary “one arm” through the Web!

The number of media available to take part in gambling grows every year. It has started with personal computers and laptops, now you can use your mobile phone! All that counts is an Internet connection. It does not even have to be fast!

Gaming slots before the First World War

The idea of the first fruit-themed gaming machine was created in the 90s’ of the XIX century in the United States of America. The slot we are talking about included 5 reels and 50 spots with fruit symbols. What is more, the machine did not have an automatic system presenting the award. When winning, you could get some beer or cigarettes for that!

The first fully automatic gaming machine was invented just before the start of the XX century. It contained three reels, five symbols on each one. The highest prize was astonishing… 50 cents! You could get that fortune for drawing three symbols of historical Liberty Bell, which you can see in Philadelphia’s museum now.

Gaming machines – from the TV straight to your mobile

The first electromechanical gaming machine was created exactly in 1964. It could payout to 500 coins at a time! Gamers were thrilled, but the real revolution in the world of gambling came nearly 13 years later, in 1978. In that year players in a famous Las Vegas could try their luck on the first video slot. What is more, this machine had a giant, 19-inch color monitor!

The next big step in the history of gambling was creating the first online gaming machines. It happened in the middle of the 90s, XX century. The first web casino ever fast found out, that people seek for internet versions of classic “One-armed bandits” and started bringing this type of machines to their services. With years passing gamers could see great development of games themselves, but also the graphics and even soundtracks!

Today gamers can choose from a great variety of games, including famous fruit-themed classics or their upgraded versions, just like popular ones offered on KasynoHEX.com. We can always try our luck playing completely new, themed gaming machines with an innovatory number of reels and symbols.

The possibilities are endless, awards are amazing, but you always need to be careful. Remember, that gambling machines online are still about real money, so you should be aware and choose only the best, secure slots from checked providers. Good developers should allow you not only to play for real money but also to limit your casino activity on demand. You should consider using that feature when you are out of luck and you feel, that you are losing a little bit too much.

Greentube, the NOVOMATIC Interactive division, has introduced its latest retro title with a twist, Silver Lux: Big Win Spinner.

A classic three-reel stepper, this timeless slot is packed with thrilling modern features and a progressive jackpot for extra chances to win big amongst its nine paylines and Big Win Spinner wheel.

Players participate using credits rather than currency, with the base game played for 10 credits. Users must select the value of a single credit before the round begins to tailor the gaming experience.

Landing a combination of sevens or bar symbols awards credits with double sevens symbols substituting for single sevens symbols for bigger credit wins and multiplying the win by 2x.

When three Big Win Spinner Wild multiplier symbols land, 2000 credits are awarded, also multiplying all wins in the round by 2x.

Three Scatter Wheel symbols landing on the reels unlock the Big Win Spinner wheel feature where players can spin for the Grand or Major Silver Lux Linked progressive jackpots.

The outer wheel spins first awarding the player either a max win in credits or an upgrade to spin again on the inner wheel for the progressive jackpots if the spinner lands on the arrow. The inner Big Wheel Spinner wheel guarantees a progressive jackpot win which is paid out in currency rather than credits depending on the amount wagered by all players.

This latest entry to Greentube’s portfolio is the first of many Silver Lux titles to be released by the provider as part of a brand-new game series and it follows in the footsteps of other recent releases including Lightning Lion.

Bernd Baumert, Director of Games Production and Operations at Greentube, said: Silver Lux: Big Win Spinner is the start of a new family for our expanding portfolio of engaging and immersive games, that we are very thrilled about.

“With the additional excitement of the progressive jackpots, we are sure players will enjoy the blend of classic slot fun alongside the modern features that this new title has to offer.”

Relax Gaming has teamed up with CasinoDaddy once more to create its latest collaborative release as everyone’s favourite sloth, Chip, embarks on his latest escapade in Epic Dreams.

Following on from a hugely successful collaboration last year, the pair have upped the ante, elevating features from the 2023 hit Sloth Tumble.

Players can climb the lofty ladder up 50 levels to net themselves a maximum win of 5,000x by collecting matching coins and symbols.

Packed with memorable features including a Bonus Pick, Build Bonus and Dig Bonus, these encapsulate the thrilling experience on offer during Chip’s woodland adventure.

If all stone block symbols are destroyed at the end of the round the Bonus Pick is automatically triggered. On some spins the bottom row will contain Super Bonus stone blocks, breaking these blocks activates the Super Bonus Pick where players can pick between the super versions of the bonuses.

The Dig Bonus starts with five free spins, and every third stone block row destroyed reveals a level row, awarding +1 free spin. At the start of each spin, any stone block rows from the previous spin are kept. New stone block rows are added, so there are four for every free spin.

The Build Bonus starts with three rounds, where each round has a drop of three symbols and players win by filling a row with any symbol. Each individual symbol in the row pays as a 3 OAK win. When a win occurs, the round counter resets to three. Symbols drop onto random columns to the bottom-most position.

Next to the grid is a multiplier ladder, the ladder starts at x1 and increases by +1 each time a row is filled. The payout of paying symbols on a row is multiplied by the current multiplier.

Shelley Hannah, CPO at Relax Gaming, said: “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with CasinoDaddy and release Epic Dreams which sees Chip take on his most fun-filled adventure to-date, dispelling myths and proving that sloths are anything but chilled!

“We were delighted with the performance of Sloth Tumble and it seemed fitting to build on that success and elevate the features and mechanics that were integral in that game’s success and provide a fully immersive experience to players.”

Established as one of the industry’s leading B2B suppliers, Relax Gaming was awarded GGA’s Product Launch of the Year in February 2023 for Dream Drop Jackpots. Money Train 3 names the 2023 CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards amongst its 6 Slot of the Year titles, while the brand also won the award for Skill Games Supplier at the 2023 EGR B2B Awards along with the Innovation in Mobile award at the 2023 SBC Awards.

Relax Gaming provides more than 4,000 online casino games, from its high-performing proprietary slots to a significant, varied library of content from hand-picked third-party studios via its partnership programmes.
