However, it the light of the soaring popularity that slots enjoy today, it may be interesting to note that at first people saw slot machines as a kind of side show, as a game that could not possibly compete with what was perceived as the more serious games.

The first slot machine was invented by Charles Fey, a car mechanic. Fey's goal was to invent something that would keep his customers busy while he fixed their cars. His machine was made of three slots, and it paid out at about 1.5%. The machine quickly became immensely popular, and soon people began coming to Fey's shop only to play slots. When Fey saw that his machine was becoming so popular, he began to build more and more machines and to sell them to casinos.
