History of Pokie Machines in Australia.

The first slot machine was developed in the United States of America by Charles Fey in 1895. He named this simple machine Liberty Bell.

Then in 1953, an Australian company Aristocrat saw that the slot machine business will have a bright future therefore they developed their first game known as the Clubman which was designed by Joe Heywood. The Clubman was replaced with the Clubmaster in 1955.

While one year later, NSW’s government legalized gambling machine and this decision changed the face of gambling in Australia. Then within few days pokies become very popular among the players.

In next few decades the same games were played again and again with no more special changes. All were the three spinning reels and one, three or five lines with small jackpots.

Then there comes a drastic change in gambling world in1980's, when the first video slots rolled off the production lines and were released for the public. This was the first biggest change with some new features, since Charles Fey had invented the first game.
