Unlike previous poker-based machines, the Liberty Bell featured a revolutionary automatic payout mechanism that dispensed heavy coins directly to the winner.

While it still featured a physical lever, the internal reels were driven completely by electricity, allowing for flashing lights and loud, exciting sounds.

More importantly, the new electrical components allowed Bally to install a massive, motorized "bottomless" coin hopper inside the cabinet.

They completely removed the physical metal reels entirely, replacing them with a modified, 19-inch Sony Trinitron color television screen.

However, the software allowed for the invention of multi-line betting, complex second-screen bonus rounds, and massive, multi-million dollar linked progressive jackpots.
