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.

Crazy Chameleons. is a five reel, five
payline, and five coin slot machine.
The multiple paylines increase your chances of winning.
It has a wild symbol and the maximum payout is 5,000 coins.
For every coin that you bet, you enable another payline.
You are paid out for winning combinations on enabled paylines
only.
A payline is a 'line' on slot machine reels on which symbols must line up on in order to win. Some slot machines have only 1 payline, some have 3, others
have 5, 9 and even 15! Generally speaking, you must pay a coin to play each line on a machine, but have the option of
not playing all available lines.
So, on a 3 line machine, you can play the center line for one coin - the center line and the line above it for two coins - or all 3 lines for 3 coins. If
you don't play a specific line and a winning combination comes up on it - then you don't win.
Classic slot machines have 3 reels and only 1 line - a horizontal payline that goes through the middle of each reel. You may be able to wager more than
one coin per spin on these games - but the amount will apply to wins on the same payline. (You win more by betting more, but your chances of winning stay the same)
Other 3 reel slots often have three paylines, one in the middle, one above it, and one below it. Betting 1 coin activates the middle payline, betting 2 coins opens up 2 paylines, and
3 coins plays all 3 lines on a spin.
5 reel slot machines typically have quite a few paylines, from 5 to 15. These paylines aren't necessarily straight lines - there's diagonal matches and lines
that actually bend. How the lines go differs from machine to machine, but the lines should be marked clearly on each game.
