The granddaddy of all slot machines, the Liberty Bell, was founded in 1907 when Charles Fey partnered with Mills Novelty. It still had all of the lights and bells of its predecessors but it was much easier to transport and install than the heavy cast iron slot game machines of the past.

Not too long after, several improvements were made to the machines, including lighter materials that made them much easier to transport. Some of the other improvements were replacing the heavy iron with a wood cabinet making the process of transporting and delivering the slot machine game much easier still. Around the same time, some of the casino slot games started being redone with mini themes, such as patriotic, wildlife, etc.

While the changes that the slot machines went through, including mini themes and vibrant colors were good, they did not impress the younger generation, who wanted something skill based and more challenging. The slot game then waned in popularity until after the depression and with the advent of video poker machines and the video slot machines.
