The Liberty Bell was the first automatic payout slot machine. It was developed in 1887 in San Francisco, California, by Charles Fey. He is considered the "Father of Slots". Charles's workshop in California is a historical landmark.
Industry Novelty Company produced Bell-Fruit Gum slot machines in 1907. It was paid out in non-cash in the guise of fruit-flavoured gum.
By 1910, slot machines were found globally and were immensely popular among the masses. Mass-produced companies in Europe produced 30,000 of these. In most US cigar businesses, saloons, bowling rooms, brothels, and barbershops machines had been placed.
In 1909, the introduction of new legislation banning cash distribution on slot machines started. The further limitations have led to slot machine having fruit-flavoured gum rewards.
Slots gambling before the invention of casinos had iron cast machinery rather than wooden cabinets and improved back-to-back jackpots mechanics.
The Golden Age of Slots was during the Prohibition period in America. The first video slot machine was launched in the Hilton Hotel of Las Vegas in 1976. Online slot games have led to the development of online casinos.
