The Slot Machine Answer Book
by John Grochowski
Newly revised for 2005, The Slot Machine Answer Book sold out of its original printing in 1999. Grochowski takes his quiz format to the slots. What was the first three-reel slot machine? Where do reel symbols such as bars and fruits, still in use today, come from? If someone has just hit a jackpot, is that a machine to avoid? Are there ever situations in which players can gain an edge on the slots? All that, and much more, is covered.

ST. JOHN'S, Antigua -- When Kari Bunting logged onto BetWWTS.com to take a few spins on the slot machines, she never expected to log off $200,000 richer.
"I was pretty excited, and just plain

Bunting cashed in playing the Desert Treasure Jackpot Slots. After about an hour of feeding the machine and hitting a few small wins along the way she collected three icons that allowed her to access the bonus feature, where the top prize was the $200,000 jackpot.
"I knew the chance was there for some big money when I got to the bonus," Bunting admitted. "But when all five of the icons matched up, I was just completely shocked. I was amazed when three icons matched, but then when all five had the same female icon, I just could not believe it."
Bunting said this is the largest win she's had after playing in online casinos for about 2 1/2 years. She's been playing at BetWWTS for about a year now and keeps coming back to it because of their multitude of games.
"I play at three different sites online, but I really enjoy BetWWTS because of the variety of games they offer," she said. "They offer games that the other sites don't and, to me, they're unique when compared to other sites I've seen and played at."
BetWWTS casino manager Andy Bell said that Bunting's jackpot win is one of the largest that BetWWTS has ever paid out. He said that while BetWWTS pays out large progressive jackpots on almost a daily basis, non-progressive wins like this are less frequent and very exciting.
"We're absolutely thrilled when a long-standing player like Kari wins a big jack pot," Bell said. "Everyone has been buzzing about it around here and, when the jackpot was won, the office just erupted because everyone was so excited."
