| + | To win the ultimate jackpot of fifty cents, a player simply had to line up three Liberty Bell symbols across the single payline. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Cheaters frequently drilled small holes in the cast-iron cabinets to insert wires and manipulate the physical stopping mechanismsThe Liberty Bell was incredibly heavy, meaning it was usually placed permanently on the bartop of saloonsA single original Liberty Bell machine is still preserved today as a priceless historical artifact in Nevada | ||
