The three main operators date back to 1938 1946, and 1948 with combined airport sales reaching into millions annually. The industry notes accidents cut profits. UAL crashes in 1947 110 lives and a 650000 loss marked a major setback.

Airport Sales placed its first slot machine in a California airport the same year, taking thirteen percent of gross for rental fees.
