Here they are at last in book format, the entertaining and widely acclaimed articles written by Nic Costa concerning the growth and development of the slot machine industries in the USA and the UK from the 1870’s to the 1970’s. This revolutionary technological movement which took over the world in the late 1800’s has subsequently permuted into our present computer age. Here you will find numerous articles about many of the major U.S. and U.K. manufacturers such as Mills, Caille, Jennings, Rockola, Wurlitzer, Gottlieb, and Bally to name but a few, as well as leading pioneers, distributors, and operators. Since their initial publication in the 1980’s they have proved to be a primary source of information for anybody interested in the growth, development, and social impact of the gambling, leisure, vending and service industries on both sides of the Atlantic.
