I had a white rat named Elmo who didn't get fed until he learned to press
a bar in his cage. Whenever he pressed it, a pellet fell into his dish.
Elmo quickly learned to press the bar when he got hungry.
Then one day we (the professor and the rest of us budding psychologists)
changed the rules. Sometimes we gave Elmo dinner when he pressed the bar
- and sometimes we didn't. poor Elmo no longer knew when to expect his food.
So you know what he did? He pounded that bar relentlessly until the food
finally came. Sound familiar?
The biggest lesson we learned from Elmo was that if you want to make
behavior stick, don't reward it all the time - reward it now and then.
This strategy is called random reinforcement, and it's the same principle
at work on us when we play slot machines.

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.
