Hi guys,

Recently spent £150 on slots & only got 3 bonus which amounted to about £20, i changed between 3 machines but none seemed to pay anything decent. Other people seemed to be winning on the same machines but i had no luck. How do you know when it’s time to leave that machine? How many spins would you say to leave on if you haven’t had anything decent?

Thanks in advance.

I want to tell you a story about a man whose name is not a household one, but who changed our world; made a contribution to it that each and everyone of us knows, uses regularly, or at the very least has tried a couple of times. His name is Charles Fey and he created the slot machine.

Charles Fey’s given name was August Fey, he was the youngest of 16, born in Bavaria in 1862. At a very young age August was sent to Munich to work, and from there he made the move to America via both England and France. His skills during this period were machine based - machine manufacturer and farm tools producer. Finally, in 1885, August, now Charles arrived in San Francisco and procured a job at the California Electric Works Company, this was very much just a day job though; his real work took place in his spare time and involved his developing of a coin operated machine game with cash winnings. Up till this point, primitive coin operated machines existed but these games did not pay out cash prizes. Charles put the finishing touches on his ’slot machine’ in 1887, the same year that he was diagnosed with tuberculoses and given only 1 year to live.

Despite the grim prognosis, Fey continued his work on his automated gaming machines. These original models, with an arm to set the mechanism in motion, consisted of 3 reels with 10 symbols - his choice of those symbols have remained to this very day; spades, bells, hearts, horseshoes etc. This first model paid out its load on a line of bells and so Fey’s first machine earned the name “Bell Machine” or “Liberty Bell Slot Machine”.

The popularity of the machines was immediate, mostly with saloon owners. To begin with Fey would produce the machines himself, supplying them to local saloons from which he would take half of the profits of the machine, however by 1907 the demand was staggering and Fey could no longer meet it alone. At this point Charles decided to take a partner, and Herbert Mills of the Mills Novelty Company was his choice. Under the management of this established and esteemed games production company the “Bell Machine” took on a momentum all of its own. Not only did the production increase in terms of the number of machines, with over 30,000 being produced, but the machines themselves grew; in 1910 the “Operators Bell Machine” saw the light of day with double the number of symbols on each reel than the original “Bells Machine”. It was the “Operators Bell Machine” that created the need for more symbols and the subsequent introduction of fruits which would eventually result in yet another name for these machines - the “Fruit Machine”.

Charles Fey lived far beyond the 1 year he was given; he raised 3 children and was devoted to his wife. His creation the, the slot machine, can be seen in the majority of pubs, provides 80% of Vegas Casinos’ profit, and has now found its way into all of our living rooms with online gaming rooms and online slot machines. Charles Fey beat all odds, and produced an invention that enables us to do the same.

I have lost my keys for my fruit machine and so can’t unlock it to get the money out that I put in.

Have searched everywhere online and nobody seems to do spare keys for fruit machines (possibly for legal reasons?), have tried to go to the manufacturer but they don’t do them.

Does anyone have any idea where I can get them or if they own a similar machine to me and can get some for me?

My machine is called GREAT ESCAPE by Maygay

Thanks guys

Yes, the Slot machine is older than your gread grandfather. It was created by a German immigrant names Charles Fey in 1895. Before 1895, the only gambling that existed in this universe was on the table. The original slot machine was made up of a heavy material cast iron. You might be surprised to know that the Slot machine in America is called a fruit machine in the UK and a poker machine in Australia. Fey, apart from being the creator, also gets the credit for mass manufacturing them for the first time and selling them to businesses. Early slot machines became a hit with the less-sophisticated gamblers since it required little more than cash, faith and an ability to pull a lever or push a button. In 1915, Iron slot machines were replaced by a wood cabinet slot machine, this first lighter slot machine made the delivery and business easy and significantly made its journey to stardom possible.

In 1907 Fey’s partnership with Mills Novelty Company produced a new row of slot machines, among them his foremost was his three-reel game called the Liberty Bell, considered by many as the father of the Slots. It later gave way for machines specializing in their own mini-themes. These noticeable, livelier machines became an extra treat for players. Soon, after 3 years, th efirst fruit symbol slot machine called the Operator Bell was created by Mills Company. In 1930’s there was a slot machine boom throughout United States especially in gambling hubs like Atlantic City. More than 50 years after Fey brought this little money-making machine to the world, his imaginative creation was moved with the first electro-mechanical slot machine developed by Bally in 1964. It was called Money Honey. Internally the machine replaced springs and levers with electrical components. For the players, the change in the outer look improved gaming experience with multiple coin play and bigger jackpots. The electricity used allowed more thrilling slots noises and flashing lights which in turn made it all the more tempting to stay with it for longer periods, even overnight for many.

Bally manufacturing paved the way in the development of slot machines. In middle of 1970’s a Dollar Slot Machine was introduced which casinos arranged in carousels and significantly bigger jackpots. So far slots had been believed as secondary gambling games for the casinos, with the table games considered primary profit game, as the chance for winning a slot was less. The 70’s saw this equation changine. That was the beginning of the era when Slot machine revenue for casinos would exceed Table Games and would eventually contribute over 85% of revenues for several leading casinos.

Shortly in 1980, Sircoma shaped a video poker machine, and in the 1990s, brought in slot machines with many additional features like multiple games in one machine, an additional chance to win money away from the spinning reels, Etc. Later twenty-first century brought most modern slot involving cashless slots with touch screen technology, flat panel display screen, easy to use help menus along with the introduction of tickets or cards onto which cash can be replaced, placing advertisement television screens on the slot machine to cross sell other casinos facilities.. Besides new devices that provide an extra payoff for game-playing dexterity, manufacturers have developed communal games that link clusters of machines - which are proving popular with people fewer than 40. Many of these games are luck based, but proving popular are some skill based bonus games.

Popularity of gambling on the internet brought Software providers with various new great variations in slot-like games having unbelievable bonus features and with great prizes. Many players who never been to real live casinos enters online casinos and gets the true excitement and fun of spinning reels and winning the jackpot. With projected advance of both online and in live casino, a new class of machines, with skill based games are developed aiming to attract younger players. Coming soon are slot machines with joy sticks, which the industry expects to be particularly popular, and others that will allow users to play against one another, much like they do in many Internet games. One of the more popular is a slot machine based on the movie Top Gun, created by WMS Gaming, in Waukegan. Online slots however are still in their infancy because online gambling businesses are banned in several countries including the US.

More than century old and looking better with each passing day, Slots will bring thrills for many and money for the fortunate few for the foreseeable future.

I keep buying about $100 worth of scratch-off tickets a month, but hardly ever win. I’ve heard that the slots online are better than vegas slots and better than the lottery. If so, how can I be sure?
