Slots date back to the 19th century and they were very popular with the public and many punters enjoyed the game of chance offered by these machines. Even gambling bans couldn't thwart their development. Instead, they took on the guise of vending machines and fruit machines.
Slots developed gradually but really took off in 1996 when the introduction of digital technology made the impossible possible. Slots moved from mechanical platforms to digital platforms effortlessly and punters followed in the millions. For the first time punters could play games that utilized animation and second screen bonus rounds at Bezy.

Slots are trying to keep up with the video gaming world and they also want gamers to make the video game/slot crossover. For this to happen graphics on slots have improved considerably and games are more immersive too. However, the best way to attract video gamers is by turning their favourite video games into gambling slots games. Here are five of the best crossovers.
