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.

amazing video as always. would love to see an outtake video just for fun!
Another great video Simon! Hope yr having a great new year.
Tomorrow is Groundhog Day here in America. Think 🤔 you could do a video on its origins?
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

Very interesting,I live like 25 minutes (by car) away from his birth-town and totally didn't know this.
Thank you and keep up the good work!
That was very interesting! Thank you!
Electronic Arts
I see what you did there.
*THIS COMMENT IS LOCKED! YOU MUST PAY $9.99 TO UNLOCK IT!*
Wow another grate video. How do you make so much grate content so often? Would you make a video about making videos? How many hours of work go into an avarage today I found out video?
How many people does it take?
How is it all sechduled? And how many projects are going in at one time?
Crazy quite music in the background
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.
Please cover the Norwegian Butter Crisis of 2011!
To the contrary, it sounds like he really is the Edison of slot machines
I request a video about German ace Egon Meyer vs Robert S. Johnson How badly was Johnsons plane shot up when he landed back at his home base
Who invented Shaggy
It's unclear because he's never told us but the primary opinions held by scholars are that either he "invented" himself, or he has simply always existed.
To have a Skull behind you seems dubious symbology though I enjoy your videos.
Fiveteen sounds like the name of a shady porn site.
I wonder if he understood the mathematical odds behind the machines he made.
Is it true that the demand for organic fish emulsion fertilizer has led to over fishing of some species, like the menhaden? (All the info I can find on this seems to be contested)
So I know it's considered a hazard but why is it still considered "speeding" if you're going 10 or under the posted speed limit?
Can you do one on "The Necronomicon" the most dangerous book that never existed...kinda.
Just watched The Twilight Zone 'The Fever'. Lead me to wonder who invented the slot machine,.. Great video thank you!
You mean it wasn't Electronic Arts?
If only Arthur Morgan would’ve known about creosote, the world would’ve been a better place.
Hoboken N.J is also the birthplace of not only baseball...but most of all in 1915 the birthplace Frank Sinatra!
why is this dude on every single channel
Wouldnt mind seeing one about john harvey kellogg and how kellogs came to be.
Corn flakes weren't always meant to be put in the mouth.
Kellogg hated fapping and decided flaked grains were the answer
Please do one on Tom Brady!
Next, who invented Keno?
Whistley boi!
But most importantly, who invented anime?
First encounter of the day
@Voltaic Fire A Japanese nerd.
weeaboos of course
Actually, that would be an interesting topic. I'll look into it. If it has any morbid type of ties, I'll cover it for you :D I have a list of topics so I'll throw it in and see if I can make it work at my place for you!
Piss off and stop leaving comments everywhere
It's a fruit machine here in England
Charles August Fey invented the slot machine oh, I just saved you seven minutes of your life you'll never get back... you're welcome
Ohh battlefront 2 the early days lol
Who invented Scooby Doo
Simon, also known as butcher of foreign names hahaha! 🍄
According to records of the time, the Ancient Greeks had invented a slot machine which dispensed a small bar of soap when a coin was inserted. Used in temple bathhouses. Does this count?
No, that would be considered a vending machine.
I never won a single jackpot game with a slot machine.
“She was the slot machine...”
Tomato-Tomato...... Controversy-Controversy
Side question... Why is there a skull on your shelf?
Who invented ultra instinct?
Shaggy
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.
James Slot
WHO INVITED THE VENDING MACHINE?
Should go back in time and make sure that person would never do the slots
I don't know, but I bet you 10 to one that the person was a gambler!
Interesting to find out who led to my gambling addiction. Now let's find out who led to my amine addiction
Cheetos and Mountain Dew (not a sponsor)
I posted this earlier to someone asking about anime though: Actually, that would be an interesting topic. I'll look into it. If it has any morbid type of ties, I'll cover it for you :D I have a list of topics so I'll throw it in and see if I can make it work at my place for you!
Ultimate Gamer...wow, two worthless wastes of time damn near guaranteeing you will hardly ever get laid.....
@@branon6565 in a relationship. Just a nerd.
You don't have to like me. But don't hate 'cause I'm getting laid and you're not. :)
Mr Slot invented it...similar to Mr Plow.
2 views but 12 likes and 10 comments. Typical RUclips.
I'm fairly certain they have learned how to fuck with the algorithm for more views. You know, to make money.
They keep spamming my comments simply because I'm complimenting them and saying I hope to be as successful as them some day. Yeah, self promotion a bit, but I REALLY DID love this place. But that does seem fishy.
People "like" and comment before they finish watching the video (just like I'm doing now). RUclips only counts a video as being viewed if they watch a large percentage of the video.
It's Simon Whistler... I'm only surprised that RUclips didn't give him 1000 likes before any views.
Wasn't it that shady character you know, that guy called the one armed bandit...
16 children were born in 1862?
If you meant "16 children born to the same woman in 1862...:" if that were true, I'd cover that on my channel!!!
Poor woman though.
@NPC#6789 Orange Man Bad
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.
Also, this is my main channel. I am Morbid Moments. I just saw the notification on my phone, and started responding on the computer before I noticed I was under the wrong log in. :)
Can you do something on Diethard Wendtland aka "der Monarch"? He somehow found out a way to trick slot machines and travelled Europes bars, trying to keep his notoriety down amongst bar owners
Sounds like he is only one of a long line of innovators in the field. Is there a reason you or anyone picks his machine as the first modern looking slot machine?
Who invented the guitar?
Now I know who to blame for losing $120 last week. (kidding)

Question: Why is an overly complex political system called a "Byzantine Beuracracy?" I've heard the phrase pop up on more than one occation.
Look up the Byzantine empire
I did. It was a masterwork of Beuracracy, however Byzantine Beuracracy I typically hear in a negative light.
When you learn that millions of people are gambling addicted cuz of a guy born in the same place as you ;D
san francisco? maybe he (pulled a lot of levers) there. jk God Bless him
Something wrong with your eyes in the thumbnail!
Hmmmm .... Stole his idea... Fey had more in common with Edison than historians want to admit.
die MINT Zeit ist vorbei!
I'd be interested to find out when did "Naughty" started having a sexual connotation?

Why do the yanks call em slot machines and we British call em fruit machines
In some pubs (in the UK) the symbols on the machine reels would be fruit.
Branon Fontaine why do Americans always play up to the stereotype of being both racist and pig ignorant of world litterateur?
Furthermore I can call myself whatever I like on the internet, where as you have chosen to use your own name so everyone you meet such as potential employers can look up what a idiot you are before offering employment. Are you 12 years old or something?.
Do you call a vending machine a slot machine no.
Do you call a arcade machine a slot machine no.
Theres alot of machines you put coins in for goods or services, you don't call them all slot machines do you, moronic troll.
