The
Booster. is a three-wheel, single-payline progressive slot machine game with
exciting features. Before spinning, you must place a bet. High rollers
who like the game of slots will like the Booster - you can bet from 1
up to 10 half dollar coins ($0.50 - $5.00) on the main payline per
single spin. There is only one payline at the Booster game. The payoff
for the payline is based on the coins bet.
The BOOST
symbol is wild and can substitute for another symbol in the payline.
Every time the BOOST symbol is going to appear, the game is
interrupted and you can select either to keep the current bet placed
or "boost" your bet 10 times (you "boost" your bet by clicking the
smaller lever). This allows amazing winnings per single spin. Also, no
bet is lost at the Booster game. Every bet which does not win is added
to the special Fund. The Fund can be cashed anytime for 10% of its
value or you may choose to try to recover ALL of your bets by risking
and attempting to win the entire amount during a special WIN/LOSE
spin.
The first slot machine was the Liberty Bell, invented in the late
1890's by a car mechanic named Charles Fey. The first slot machine had
three spinning reels, with diamond, spades, hearts and one cracked
liberty bell painted around each reel. When somebody would hit it big on
this machine the jackpot would be a whopping 50 cents (ten nickels). The
first Liberty Bell slot machine is still around today and can be found
in Reno Nevada at the Liberty Belle Saloon. Charles Fey's slot machines
were so popular that he couldn't build them fast enough in his little
shot, many tried to buy the rights to them but he refused.
The slot craze got its start back then and has blossomed into a huge
worldwide craze that is becoming even more popular today. Today slot
machines are casinos' most prominent game. Imagine yourself walking

Liberty Bell.The Beginning of the Slot Machine.
German Immigrant, Charles Fey, credited with inventing slot machine.
In California, (especially San Francisco), in the 1890's, gambling was a popular type of entertainment. Many forms of slot machines existed at that time.
Charles Fey aimed at competing with these
existing slot machines with his "Liberty Bell". The "Liberty Bell" had many unique features that soon distinguished his machines.
Players liked the Liberty Bell, and any good establishment
gives the players what they like. The Liberty Bell was a big hit, and Charles Fey was given credit for inventing a "new"
standard in slot machines, that to this day has some
influence.
In the 1890's, slot machines can best be described
as semi-legal. By paying the players, slot machines were made illegal, and eventually banned in California. Charles Fey continued to produce his machines regardless.
He knew his machines were popular and that the end users
were the ones using his inventions illegally. Why should he
give up producing, when as far as he was concerned, they
were legal if used correctly?
He continued to produce and sell his inventions, and was eventually
arrested and fined.
It was never legal to produce or own slot machines
again in California as long as Charles Fey was alive. Production
was legal in other states and these producers often copied his
machines and sold them to his clients.
I wonder what Charles Fey would be thinking of doing in the year
2000 with Internet gambling and online casinos. Are we missing
out on the latest invention of the "Liberty Bell"?
