To fully appreciate slot graphics as we know it, we need to look at where it all started and how it evolved over time. Find below a brief overview of how slot graphics evolved.
Where It All Started
If you are a big fan of slots, or you are lucky enough to have been around since the very beginning, then you probably know what the very first slot machines looked like. They were entirely mechanical, had the lever on the side and the fruity symbols on the reels. This original slot had no graphics to speak of. Instead, simple symbols were painted onto the reels. Symbols were simple, including poker cards, bells, bars, sevens, and fruit pieces.
Introducing Electronic Slots
With the introduction of electronic slots in the 60s and 70s came much more exciting graphics. It was out with the old, and in with the new. Instead of mechanical reels and hand-painted symbols, players were greeted with vivid and colourful graphics. Slot developers started to get more creative in terms of slot symbols and graphics. However, the image quality was still and rather unattractive.

Slots were also developed with different themes. They range from history to celebrities. This also allowed slot developers to create symbols that fit the themes.
