Unlike games of skill such as poker and blackjack, with slot machines all you have to do insert money, pull the lever, and wait for the symbols to show up on the screen.  This makes for a stress free playing experience that is easy to get started with.

Another reason for the popularity is the sheer amount of machines that are available. When you walk into any casino the first thing that you see is probably going to be hundreds of slot machines. And to take this a bit further, every slot machine is different. Some of them offer large payouts, some smaller. Additionally, each slot machine requires a different amount for you to play. For this reason you can always find one that fits your budget.

As mentioned above, one of the biggest benefits of slot machines is that they are easy to play. You never have to take hours to learn how to play a slot machine. As long as you can read you will know what you have to do to get started.

Another benefit is the payout options that are available at slot machines. When it comes down to it you can win hundreds of thousands of dollars with some machines. Of course this is not the case with all of them, but if you choose the right one you are giving yourself the chance to walk home with big time money.  And even the slot machines that do not have the highest payouts still offer pots that are nothing to laugh at.

Overall, slot machines have always been among the most popular casino games and this will probably never change. They are easy to play, offer high payouts, and come in a variety of different forms. Regardless of if you are gambling online or off, slot machines offer many benefits.
