Summary: Great Book - Answer to Steve Clark's Question Above!!!
Review: Buy the book if you like slot machines. In answer to Steve Clark from England who wrote, "Could anyone tell me who invented slot machines? I know this is not the way to go about it but I can' find out about it any where else!" I found an excerpt that answers your question: "Nickel in the slot" machines first appeared in the mid-1800s and awarded cigars and free drinks. The first coin-operated counter-wheel machine was patented in 1892 by Gustave Schultz of San Francisco. So there you have it Steve! (And we still got our Cable Cars, Golden Gate Bridge, and Hookers!)
