You can experience everything from glitz to old-world glamour, or you can forego the gambling completely to indulge in the pampering many casinos offer. Whatever your preference, visiting casinos can be an unforgettable experience. Here’s a look at some of the world’s best casinos.

Slot machines were once considered secondary attractions at casinos. Today, however, the machines have increased in popularity drastically and take up about 75 percent of a casino’s floorspace. Their popularity has spiked for a number of reasons: casino-goers can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars on slot machines, and they’re a nice break from the tables, which can often become crowded with drunken players. Everyone’s odds at winning big on the slot machines is the same, and everyone can play. Here’s a look at some of the most popular slot machines:

Wheel of Fortune

One of the most played slot machines from Atlantic City to Las Vegas, this machine is based on the popular Wheel of Fortune game show. Machines have denominations of 4 cents, 25 cents and a dollar. The game can also be played online.

I Love Lucy

Based on the beloved television show, this slot machine is one of the many television-themed slot machines that companies have been developing in recent years. It is a three-wheel machine similar to Triple Lucky 7, and the maximum bet is 60 cents. But don’t think that means you won’t see a big return: the largest jackpot won on the machine was $2.99 million.

Harley Davidson

Designed for gaming rebels, this machine brings the biker culture to casinos. It’s a real crowd pleaser, with classic biker songs like “Born to Be Wild” playing in the background and big paydays. The maximum bet on the machine is under one dollar, but the biggest payout was over $7.4 million.
