Tracing the history of these machines reveals exactly how the modern gambling industry was built. The Mechanical Era: The Birth of the Liberty Bell Charles Fey, a Bavarian immigrant, revolutionized gambling by creating a machine that could automatically pay out winnings in coins. Fey's brilliant design used three physical metal reels painted with symbols like horseshoes, diamonds, spades, and a cracked Liberty Bell. Cheaters frequently drilled small holes in the cast-iron cabinets to insert wires and manipulate the physical stopping mechanismsThe Liberty Bell was incredibly heavy, meaning it was usually placed permanently on the bartop of saloonsA single original Liberty Bell machine is still preserved today as a priceless historical artifact in Nevada The Video and Digital Revolution Instead of physical reels, the Fortune Coin machine used a modified 19-inch Sony television to display digital, computer-generated symbols. In the late 1990s, the internet boom allowed these advanced video games to transition seamlessly into the first online casinos.
