I bet that you have often asked the question, but probably were too busy to answer it. To your comfort, I’m sure you’re not the only one. It’s a question many people ask. There are so many fruit options in Uganda. You will love it even more if it is good for your body.
Slots are a completely different breed when it is about casino games. They add flavor and color to the casino scene, which is partly why they are so bright and cheerful. Other casino games aren’t as interesting, but blackjack and poker always seem formal and serious. Expect to hear loud noises, lots of pinging and pinging, soundtracks, and excitement every time a winning line is rolled. They can be enjoyed by both players and observers.
Why fruit?
Let’s look at their history to find out why you see fruit symbols on slot games like cherries, mangoes or oranges. Let’s delve a bit deeper into slot machine history.
Charles Fey, from San Francisco, invented the Liberty Bell in 1899. This three-reel pay-out slot machine was a coin-paying machine. Six symbols made up the reels were included in the machine’s original design: a horseshoe symbol, space symbol, star, heart jewel, and cracked liberty bell symbol. The symbolism and mechanism of the slot machine have remained constant throughout its 75-year history.
Charles Fey, a Mills Novelty Company employee, teamed up with them in the 1900s to increase production. It was then that the slot machine really began to develop. This was when the fruit symbols were introduced to replace earlier imagery. The machine’s new symbol and vibrancy proved so successful for many players, that it was no more called a “slot machine”, but a “fruit machine”.
The 20th century saw gambling banned. Instead of turning slot machines into machines, they became vending machines. They would give out chewing gum and mints. Because the machines were able to give out different types of chewing gum, wins did not bring in any money. The machines would become automated vending machines if all bets resulted in winning.
The law in Nevada finally legalized gambling in 1931. Slot machines were then introduced to casinos to entertain the wives and husbands of the more serious players. Because of their attractive imagery, they quickly became very popular and provided good income to the casinos. The 1960s saw slot machines become a staple in casino houses. Technological advances made it possible to make flashing lights or other appealing sounds. Slots quickly became a popular choice. Despite the existence of other inventions, fruit seemed to hold strong. This is why many manufacturers decided to stop searching for additional symbols and focus on creating more reels that could accommodate more fruit.

Slots Today
Slots’ imagery and gameplay have not changed. They are not as mechanical today as they used to. You no longer have to pull the handle to activate them. They are now much more electronic and can be activated with a simple push of a button.
Online slots have become much more accessible thanks to the internet. Players will never feel bored by the vibrancy and variety of fruit symbols. While there are other slot games that use symbols such as TV stars or other popular culture, they can’t beat the classic fruit machines that remain very popular.
