certain thing most especially those that you enjoyed using them. If you are a
big fan of all slots, then take some time to know
something about it. As they say, “knowledge is power” and it is always good to

If you ever heard about Liberty Bell slot
machines, this is the first slots and the parent of all slots that you commonly found in many casinos today. When Charles Fey pursues his passion of making
more slot machines, he started to put up a slot machine manufacturing factory
along the street of San Francisco market. It is during this time where he
manufactured a lot of Liberty Bells slot machines making him gain popularity
from its numerous customers.
Liberty Bells slot machines started to
become dominant in the year 1898. They come after Charles Fey invented his first
slot called One-armed Bandits and second slot called 4-11-44 and some more
other slots. The Liberty Bells use three
spinning reels that contain five different symbols. These symbols are spades,
diamonds, hearts, horseshoe and the Liberty Bell. However, there is actually
the very first gambling machine before Liberty Bells. It was called a poker
machine, came in 1891. This simply uses 5 drums to spin the 50 poker cards, a
lever and a certain part where you can insert a coin.
The earliest poker machine was invented by
Sittman and Pit and become quite popular in many bars and cigar stores in
Berkeley, New York. This new look gambling machine attracted players to play
for it and also attracted bar and cigar store owners to do business through it.
Players use to play this game in order to win drinks or cigars of which become
one way for the store owners also to sell their products. It so happens that
when Fey created also his own slot machine, this early poker machine began to
shrink. This is because the invention of Fey is far better that the one that
was invented by Sittman and Pitt.
However, when Fey is on his way of reaching
the most peak of his success through his slot manufacturing factory, an
unexpected great earthquake and fire in San Francisco that took place in 1906 destroyed
all slots that he created except for one Liberty Bell that he was able to save.
This can be the year for Fey’s business worst downfall, making him leave his
own founded manufacturing factory and join the group of the Mills Novelty
Company in the year 1907.
When Charles Fey worked with the Mills, they
were able to come up with the Mills Liberty Bells. At this time, all slots started
to evolve. This is now the point when slots start to flourish coming from more
other manufacturing companies. The fast improvement and development of
technologies also contribute a lot to the modernization of these slots. Today,
you can now play all slots online by the use of internet and computer.
