Fortunes Told By Madame Gypsy Fortune Telling Machine 7D14368 20150222
The late 1800's through the early 1900's saw the birth and spread of amusement parks, penny arcades and nickelodeons. Although this was due in part to an increase in the number of people living in cities and to an increase in disposable income, it was also in large part due to the invention of mass transit. In a bid to increase ridership many railroad, trolley and subway lines built or sponsored amusement parks. At the amusement parks, along with the carousels, ferris wheels and roller coasters there was the penny arcade and in amongst the penny arcade s slot machines, strength testers, music machines, scales, gumball machines and electric shockers. -pftforum
A fortune teller machine is a type of amusement, which upon receiving credit gives out a card with a prediction of the reader's future. They could be found in penny arcades, and can be seen in modern video arcades and amusement parks. -wikipedia
