The Novelty company introduces gum-dispensing slot machines that feature new fruit-inspired symbols, a move that was shortly followed by the Mills Company. The idea of using slot machines as product dispensers was born after strict anti-gambling laws were introduced in America. The slots dispensed everything from cigarettes to candy and fruity gums made by the Chicle Company. Some sources say this is what inspired the fruit and candy symbols we see on the slot machine screens today. Fun fact: if a slot machine featured a lemon symbol, it meant the machine was somehow rigged.
