Big Bertha is known as the first ever electro-mechanical slot machine and was regarded as the world’s biggest slot machine invented during the 1950’s. According to many, the budget used to build this slot machine was more than 150 thousand in dollars. The dimensions are six by ten feet and it needs five horsepower engine to make its chain driven wheels, measured 21 inches, to work.
It is very intriguing to build a slot machine like this one, bigger than any living man in this world and it requires the gamblers to pull its spinning lever with their two arms, full forced. However, if you were overwhelmed with the invested money, it is really worth it. It was very productive in its debut. It became a hit to everyone right away and until today; it was still operational, although it was now only featured occasionally in casinos found in Las Vegas.
Like the modern slot machines that were used today, Big Bertha also has many reels with eight that holds 20 symbols each of them and with these reels with numerous symbols attached, it produced nearly 26 billion combinations. But for that number of combinations, it provides a very very very slim chance to hit a jackpot because only one in that given 26 billion combination can give the jackpot price, which is only a million dollar.
So, just using your mathematical skills, it needs a gambler to pull the spinning lever to about 205 billion times in order to find the one combination-one million jackpots. For an ordinary person, even you can spare 205 billion dollar just to hit the jackpot, it is very difficult to imagine that you can able to pull the lever using your whole lifetime.
Going on, to think the possibilities deeply, the Big Bertha will never put you on the winning side. If ever you are going to win, you must be the luckiest person on earth. Since the biggest and only jackpot is 1 million, you should only try to pull your luck in a million times in order to call that you win or you get even with it.
Well, investing to create slot machines is really worth your every penny. Because it was a game of luck and has very slim winning odds, it will generate a very great amount of revenue. Even like this mentioned slot machine that brings a 1/207 billion chance, it was still a big hit many gamblers especially if they can raise the jackpot higher.
Since the first slot machine invented in 1895 by Charles Fey, you can count on your fingers the number of people who was able to hit the jackpot of any slot machine. It was in 1973 when the biggest recorded jackpot a man ever won happened, it was $65, 093 but that was beaten when a woman luckily got the combination of a one million dollar jackpot in Ontario, Canada last 2001. And for a slot machine like the Big Bertha, the miracle must be on your side to pull the jackpot.
