The First Slot Machine Wasn't Even in a Casino
When mechanic Charles Fey invented the first slot machine in 1895, it wasn't even played in a casino, and it was far from Las Vegas. Fey's "Liberty Bell" machine was actually at his auto shop in San Francisco for customers to play while they waited for their cars to be fixed. It became so popular that casinos started buying them to give gamblers something to do when the table games were fully occupied.

That's interesting! So, the first slot machine was actually created as a way to entertain customers waiting for their cars to be repaired, rather than being designed specifically for gambling purposes.

Do you think there are any other examples of innovations or technologies that have had similar unexpected origins?
