The origin of slots and other gambling activities in Hong Kong can be traced back to the mid-19th century when the British started to distribute licenses for the conduct of various lottery games. Soon after, sports betting started to be supported and the first casinos were opened in the city. One of the most popular and widespread games in almost all these casinos was the slots.
The popularity of slots has been growing and changing throughout the years and its popularity in Hong Kong has not changed. As of today, slots can be found in both land-based and online casinos in Hong Kong.
