    2 cents per play. Console cabinet with Art Deco backbox. Two outholes, one at each end of an open playfield serving as the hockey goal. One "goalie" manikin with extended hockey stick is mounted to the playfield in front of each goal. Balls enter the playfield every few seconds from the middle of one side of playfield. The player operates a control stick at front of game to rotate the goalies continuously and simultaneously, one clockwise and the other counter-clockwise, or vice-versa, depending on which way the control stick is moved.
    ipdb.notes
    In an article dated December 27, in The Billboard, Jan-3-1942, page 77, a Genco official talked about being "amazed" at the reception given this game by the coin machine industry. Billboard articles through February 1942 show Genco boasting of the games demand and popularity. Our Genco documentation referred to this game only as "Hockey". In these Billboard articles, Genco refers to the game as "All Star Hockey" as does the backglass. We have corrected our listing name to reflect this longer name.
