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 number of games and manufacturers of coin-operated machines are
almost end less. Choose from slot, gumball, cigar, music, clocks, cash
registers, pinball, gun, and weigh machines, horse gaming and golf,
to name a few. Slot authoritarian, Marshall Fey, author of "Slot
Machines:
A Pictoral History of the First 100 Years," said the slot machine
mushroomed into a premier collectible after 1976, the year that California
legalized antique slot machine collecting. Many states have since followed
suit.
Robert Levy of Pennsauken, N.J., who has more than 250 antique slots,
said he collects because "they increase in value every year. They
are a good investment, very entertaining, they make wonderful banks,
and they will never be made again." His oldest is dated 1893. Levy,
who is for two price guides in the U.S. and one in England, said he
has bought and sold slot machines for 14 years. For some collectors,
"seek and find" offers the most enjoyment. The rare ones are
difficult to locate because many of them were taken to the city dump
and are lost forever. Some collectors like the "thrill" of
owning an illegal item.
Not every state condones ownership of a slot machine, and some states
require that it be a certain age before it can be sold. Levy said the
Attorney General's office of each state regulates the sale of slot machines,
and it is best to check with that office before buying. Cosmetic changes
over the years are not the only consequences of the modern world of
gaming. "With the old machines, you played one coin at a time and
it paid on the center line.
You could have fun playing and watching and waiting for the symbols
to come up. Today's electronic slots play up to 60 lines at one time;
they will take $100 dollar bills and will, geometrically, take money
unbelieveably quicker. You can sit down and in a matter of seconds,
your money is gone, and so is the fun of the game.
The ones that play up to 60 lines let the casino take in less on each
pull, but it (the casino) makes more money in the long run," Levy
said.
