Electronic Slots
The conventional mechanical slot machines of old gave rise to electronic slots as we know them today. All modern electronic slot machines are controlled by a computer chip that's very similar to the one that might be in the computer that you are using to connect to the Internet and read this right now. Slot machines require a fairly sophisticated program to handle all of the functions and events that need to take place while a slot machine is being played. These programs are written and embedded on electronic slots' computer chip and act as the machine's detailed instructions. More on Electronic Slots.
