Origin of Casino Slots

According to modern history, slots was first created by a car mechanic in San Fransico named Charles Fay just before the turn of the 20th century. His original machine contained five symbols on three reels including horseshoes, spades, diamonds, hearts and the one that became the name for the machine – Liberty Bell. Players would insert a nickel (5c), pull the lever and the wheels would spin. The ultimate goal was that all three reels would stop on Liberty Bell giving a maximum payout of 10 nickels.

The game’s popularity soon exploded and Fay could not maintain a level of production to meet demand. Other manufacturers of casino games were keen to purchase the manufacturing and distribution rights of the Liberty Bell Slot machine but Charles Fay would not sell.

A few years later a similar machine known as the Bell Operator was created by a Chicago based manufacturer. The symbols were changed to include lemons, plums and cherries and soon became referred to as the “fruit machine” we know today.

In the 1960s the game went electronic with many more versions but overall casino slots has remained true to the original and certainly the buzz has not changed as those three, four or five of a kind come in and the money piles up – cha-ching!
