Slots were invented by a San Francisco car mechanic named Charles Fey who wanted to invent something that would keep his customers busy while they were waiting for their cars to be fixed. The first slot machine that he invented was called the liberty bell. And paid out at about 1.5%. Soon, the machine was popular all over the city, and people were coming from all over town just to play the Liberty Bell slot machine. When Fey saw that it was becoming so popular, he began to make and sell slots to all the major casinos.

However they were at first skeptical of the slots, thinking that they were good only for a filler, a way to minimize the lines at what they thought were the more serious games. However, in a short period of time, customers of the casinos were clamoring for more and more slot machines, and Charles Fey could not make them fast enough in his shop. At first he was the only one who made slots, but a year after he started to sell his slots to the casinos, another company started making and selling them.

And the rest is history. Today slots are a growing business and are in fact more than just slots. Today's technology ensures that playing slots are more than just a game, they are a complete experience, one that you will want to relive over and over again.
