The popular game of slots has evolved over the last century into the fun pastime we currently enjoy. The first real slot machine was made by Charles Fey in 1895. Named “the Liberty Bell” it was one of the first electronic gambling machines, and was the first slot machine to use symbols.
Its largest payout was fifty cents for three “liberty bell” symbols on one line. Supposedly this new invention became so popular that Fey could not build enough to keep up with the demand, and soon others were creating their own knock-off versions.
