 |  Slots History
Did you ever wonder where slot machines came from? They were invented in California in the late 1800's by a man named Charles Fey, Though they were a financial success right away, it wasn't until Bugsy Siegel installed them in his Flamingo Hilton hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada that slot machines took off. In the beginning of the twentieth century slot machines could be found almost anywhere. Some offered cash prizes but many offered other prizes including candy and gum. The bar symbol still found on many machines was actually a symbol for a piece of chewing gum or candy. Many slot machines were based on a patriotic theme such as the liberty bell. Studying the history of slot machines is like studying the history of the United States during the turbulent times of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Eventually the prohibition and depression eras took their toll on slot machines and more and more places made them illegal. But their popularity couldn't be denied and they were embraced by gamblers wherever they were allowed. Casinos started out putting in slot machines for the wives and lady friends of male gamblers. The revenue these machines produced soon convinced the casino operators to focus more on the machines as a genuine gambling venue.
