The history of slot machines dates back to the late 19th century when the first mechanical gambling device was invented by Charles Fey in San Francisco. This early machine, known as the Liberty Bell, featured three spinning reels with five symbols: horseshoes, diamonds, spades, hearts, and a Liberty Bell.

Over the decades, slot machines evolved from simple mechanical devices to electromechanical machines in the 1960s, and eventually to the digital video slots we see today. The introduction of random number generators in the 1980s revolutionized the industry, ensuring fair and unpredictable outcomes.

Modern slot machines incorporate advanced graphics, bonus features, and progressive jackpots, making them one of the most popular forms of casino entertainment worldwide. The transition to online platforms has further expanded their accessibility and variety.
