A man named
Charles Fey developed the first commercially successful
slot machine in his San Francisco machine shop around
1896. Made of cast iron with three internal reels, a
slot for taking in coins and an external lever for activating
the machine, it quickly became a staple of saloons,
gambling houses and even many retail stores (where patrons
would trade their winnings for goods from the store
- hence the term "trade goods").
Today,
no casino would be complete without the gleaming rows
of the one-armed bandits. Slot Machines have expanded
from the original design to today's multiple offerings
- multi-line slots, video slots, and poker slots have
become the new favorites, making the Slot Machine one
of the most popular casino games today.
