When you walk onto a modern casino floor, you are immediately overwhelmed by a sea of glowing screens, booming bass, and cinematic digital animations.
+
From heavy cast-iron mechanical boxes dispensing chewing gum to highly complex digital algorithms, the core appeal of the game has never changed.
+Inventing the Mechanical Slot +
Fey created a heavy, cast-iron contraption featuring three physical metal reels, which he named the "Liberty Bell."
+
If a lucky player pulled the heavy side lever and lined up exactly three Liberty Bells, the machine automatically dispensed the massive grand prize of fifty cents.

While it still featured a physical lever, the internal reels were driven completely by electricity, allowing for flashing lights and loud, exciting sounds.
+
More importantly, the new electrical components allowed Bally to install a massive, motorized "bottomless" coin hopper inside the cabinet.
+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.
