    Augustinus Charles Fey was the youngest of sixteen children born in 1862 in the small village of Vohringen, Bavaria which sits at the edge of the Alps. Early on, he displayed an interest in mechanics, following his brothers’ footsteps and working in a farm tool factory in Munich. At fifteen, August hit the road (apparently fearful of his strict father and not wanting to serve in the military) and walked across Europe.

    The slots with reels were very complex, and kept getting more and more so. Which made them an incredible pain to work on. Thankfully, today's slot market is overwhelmingly dominated by ones that are electronic. A computer, some monitors, a few peripherals (bill acceptor and a ticket printer), few peripheral boards, and the ability to network them all. Super easy to work on

    Each country has their own interesting slot machine history story. Australia with their pokies were the inventors of "royal" machines and penny slots. Japanese pachislo are actually a skilled slot machine. Germany with their complex mathematical models invented persistent slot machines. America are the inventors of entertainment slot and perfected the stepper mechanical slot machine.

      Shaggy

    • @iPhoneeditor
      @iPhoneeditor 5 лет назад +1

      Ultra instinct was accidentally created when Shaggy began to experiment with the limits of his power (none were found) in the primeval universe and went from 0.1% power to 0.2% power. However it must be stated that our indication of Shaggy's 100% is low-balled to the amount of pure energy that would be required to annihilate all matter in the universe converting it back to energy and this is used as an indicator of his maximum power not because it's an actual limit but because it's the largest amount of energy we can realistically work with in science and mathematics within our physical and mortal contexts neither of which apply for Shaggy.

      I did know that. It was the joke that she would have 16 in one year.
      Technology is why population is shooting up. Before, a family of 8 kids may have 2 survive.
      Nowadays if a family has 8 kids, 8 survive in the developed world.

      Do you call a vending machine a slot machine no.
      Do you call a arcade machine a slot machine no.
