HISTORY OF TRADE STIMULATORS
Trade stimulators, as the name implies, were designed to stimulate business either by attracting customers into a specific store or by giving the customer another reason to spend his loose change when paying for merchandize.Even though trade stimulators were extensively used in the 1890s, they weren't called trade stimulators until 1907 when the Mills Novelty Company used the term in one of its catalogues.

The most popular early trade stimulators were the Bicycle and the Fairest Wheels. With both of these machines the weight of a penny caused a wheel to rotate and, like a carnival wheel, the player hoped the wheel would stop on a high number so that he could win multiple cigars or other merchandise. Other popular machines during this era were the penny drops and flips.
The bartender or store attendant paid winners over the counter since trade stimulators did not automatically pay out cash like slot machines. Winners usually received free merchandise, such as a cigar or a pack of cigarettes. Some trade stimulators had automatic token dispensers so that the store attendant didn't have to be called every time there was a winner. These tokens were stamped with the store's name or the winning value, such as 'Good For A Free Cigar' or 'Good for 5ó in Trade'.
Although trade stimulators became less popular for a period, their popularity rebounded in the 1930s. Many operators utilized them instead of slot machines because there were lower in cost and smaller in size, as well as needing fewer repairs and posing less legal problems. By the late 1930s, trade stimulators were increasingly becoming known as counter games.
Many trade stimulators, especially those made in the 1930s and 1940s, also dispensed gumball. The gumball feature allowed operators to claim that the stimulators were vending machines and not gambling devices. Operators claimed that the machine were made to dispense gumballs for a coin and that the spinning reels were for amusement purposes.

The 1930s trade stimulators were generally ornate and appealing to the eye, while in the 1940s they became more utilitarian. After the Johnson Act, which made gambling machines illegal, was passed in the early 1950s, merchants started using punchboards instead of trade stimulators.

Wimberly Interiors, considered one of the world’s leading design consultants in the hospitality industry, created the Mezzanine Level Casino utilizing an Art Deco inspiration.
The new space contains approximately 14,000-square-feet of Italian marble which is meant to highlight the natural beauty of the Italian stone throughout the Mezzanine Level Casino, while providing a luxurious atmosphere for guests.
The lighting in the new venue is meant to exude elegance and class with the various chandeliers that are reminiscent of an Art Deco flapper dress, a style known for high energy and spirits.
The opening of the Mezzanine Level Casino precedes a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, April 28, for the property’s new Orient Road Garage. To coincide with a car giveaway at the end of the month, a 2018 Audi® A5 will “drive through” the ribbon.
The new 700-space parking garage will allow for easy access from Hillsborough Avenue and Orient Road.
The Orient Road Garage will have a walkway into the Mezzanine Level Casino where guests can take a self-guided memorabilia “rock walk” tour, which will showcase over 100 of Seminole Hard Rock Tampa’s prized memorabilia pieces, including new items from artists such Beyoncé, Carrie Underwood, Stevie Nicks, Bon Jovi, Nicki Minaj and many more.
