A slot machine is a free online gambling machine, or a gambling device. (Modern slot machines are often called "electronic gaming devices".) People around the world play slot machines, and they have lots of colloquial phrases they use to refer to these games:- One armed bandits (a US idiom)
- Fruit machines (in the UK)
- Poker machines or "pokies" (in Australia)
But slot machines are an American invention, and the phrase itself is actually a shorter version of the original name for the games: "penny-in-the-slot machines". The games were (until recently) always activated by putting a coin or a token into a slots and pulling a lever. It can now be found at free online casino on the web.
Slot machines are a relatively recent American invention too. The original slot machine was invented by Charles Fey and was called the Liberty Bell. In fact, his family still maintain a slot machine museum called the Liberty Bell where interested hobbyists can see historical examples of slot machines that are close to 100 years old.
