In 1907, Fey teamed up with the Mills Novelty Company and then manufactured the Mills Liberty Bell. The Liberty Bell featured a cast iron case, with a classic Liberty Bell cast into the front of the machine. In later models the toes were eliminated and replaced with ornate scrolled feet. The machine's reel strips depicted playing cards (the king, queen, and jack). It also had a bell that rung when you hit a winning combination. Mills introduced a series of cabinet designs that were striking and colorful, each with its own theme. German immigrant named Charles Augustus Fey, and his invention over on the west coast. It is the year 1895 however, that seems to prove more popular with gambling history enthusiasts. War Eagle also boasted a new coin acceptor that displayed the coins played moving successively across the top of the machine. In the case that slugs were used to operate the machine, the operator would now be able to see if such an object was being used. The new specification also added additional movement. Slot machine manufacturers and bar owners managed to cope with these new laws by giving away free packs of gum and other prizes for getting certain combinations of symbols on the machines. There is a theory that this was the idea for the fruit and bar symbols present on modern-day slot machines. Another theory holds that an early slot machine rewarded it’s players by awarding fruit-flavored chewing gums with the pictures of the flavors depicted by the corresponding symbols on the reels. The popular ‘cherry’ and ‘melon’ symbols are said to have derived from this machine. Since the speakeasies were illegal anyway, the managers figured they may as well go back to offering cash prizes on the slot machines.

German immigrant, Charles Fey, is widely considered the “Father of Slot Machines,” there is debate about whether or not he created the world’s first slot machine in his San Francisco workshop. Some reports claim that Fey created the first slot machine in 1887, while others say he invented his version of the machine eight years later. Sittman and Pitt Company was to get the combination of card faces that represented the best possible poker hand after the drums stopped spinning. The higher the hand you got, the better the prize you received. Even though it cost five cents per spin, Sittman and Pitt Company’s slot machine did not pay cash prizes. Instead, what people were given for a winning spin depended entirely on where they were playing. Sittman and Pitt Company’s slot machine was revolutionary in its own right, Fey’s slot machine is generally viewed as the true predecessor of today’s slot machines. Additionally, rather than card faces, Fey used symbols to distinguish the suit of a card on the machine’s reels — diamonds, hearts, horseshoes and spades. Bell had a payout table which informed players about how much each winning combination of symbols would pay as well. A typical payout table showed you would win two coins if your spin produced two horseshoes. Charles Fey willingly entered into a working relationship with Mills Novelty Company. According to others, the Mills Novelty Company began producing the Mills Liberty Bell after a burglary occurred in a San Francisco saloon. During the robbery, which occurred shortly before the Mills Novelty Company started making slot machines, only two items were taken: an apron and one of Fey’s slot machines. Mills Liberty Bell, the machine’s blueprint still serves as the model for modern slot machines — although the technology used in today’s machines is significantly more advanced. United States.
