The evolution of the slot machine is a fascinating journey reflecting the rapid acceleration of technology throughout the 20th century.

Unlike previous poker-based machines, the Liberty Bell featured a revolutionary automatic payout mechanism that dispensed heavy coins directly to the winner.
+
Fey's brilliant mechanical design was so incredibly perfect that it remained the absolute industry standard for over seventy years.

For decades, slot machines remained entirely mechanical, limiting the size of payouts due to the physical size of the internal coin hoppers.
+
For the first time in history, a slot machine could automatically dispense a massive jackpot of up to 500 coins without requiring an attendant.
+The Invention of the Video Slot +
The final, most profound evolution occurred in 1976 when the Las Vegas-based Fortune Coin Company invented the very first true video slot machine.

Initially, players were highly suspicious of the digital screen, believing they could no longer trust a machine without physical, spinning parts.

From the heavy, mechanical clunk of the Liberty Bell to the stunning cinematic graphics of modern mobile games, the slot machine has evolved flawlessly.
