In 1895 Charles Fey invented the first slot machine.
In 1907 he teamed up with Mills Novelty Company to perfect his initial innovation.
Mills Novelty Company manufactured the “Mills Liberty Bell.”
The Liberty Bell had a cast iron case with cast iron feet and toes. Later the machine featured ornate decorated feet but no toes.
The machine’s reel strips portrayed the king, queen, and jack taken from the playing cards.
The original machine had a bell that rang when you hit a winning combination. The initial concept of the bell ringing as an indicator that a player has just hit the jackpot is continued even today in the modern so many slots machines .
