Charles Fey’s 1907 invention of a slot machine was more user-friendly than its predecessors and was the first to payout automatically. Unlike Sittman and Pitt’s machines, Fey’s had three reels and was designed to pay out if all three of the Liberty Bells were aligned.
While it’s true that winning at slots is largely a matter of luck, you can increase your chances by learning how the game works and playing responsibly. For example, always read the rules before you play and don’t be afraid to try out a slot in the demo mode before spending any money. Also, be sure to check out a slot’s maximum payout limit before you start playing so that you won’t have any unexpected surprises when it comes time to collect your winnings.
