The very first slot machine (called ‘Liberty Bell’) was created by a man called Charles Fay from his workshop in San Francisco in 1887. Slightly smaller than today’s average slot machines, Liberty Bell contained 3 reels and 20 symbols and operated pretty much in the same way as today’s slot machines.
Kwanza kabisa yanayopangwa mashine (iitwayo ‘Bell Uhuru’) aliumbwa na mtu mmoja aitwaye Charles Fay kutoka semina wake katika San Francisco kwa 1887. Kidogo kidogo zaidi kuliko wastani leo mashine yanayopangwa, Uhuru Bell zilizomo reels 3 na alama 20 na kuendeshwa pretty sana katika njia sawa na ya yanayopangwa mashine leo.
