I still consider slot machines to be a new game. Yet, the first three-reel slot machine was invented in 1898 in San Francisco by Charles August Fey. The machine he invented was called "Liberty Bell" and it used hearts, diamonds, spades, horseshoes and bells as symbols. (Visit the Liberty Belle Saloon in Reno, Nevada to see this original slot machine.) Fey was a smart lad. He split profits with gaming houses 50/50. It didn't take long fer slots to become illegal. But Fey remained vigilant and kept making the machines. In the (19)30's and 40's, his machines caught on in popularity. It was one of the first games Ben "Bugsy" (don't call him that) Siegel added to his Las Vegas Flamingo hotel. Today there are a myriad of slot machines available and online slots are increasing in popularity since it is the easiest game to play. Simply put in yer bet, click the spin button ("pull the handle") and watch the results. Ye certainly do not have to be a seasoned gambler like me to play this game but there are advantages to be found. (i.e. casino bonuses, savvy?)
