- IPDB This is Not A Pinball. It is a shuffle bowler, also called a puck bowler, but may be listed as a pinball in other resources. We have seen three different backglasses for a 2-player Chicago Coin "Bowling Alley" and also their 6-player game with that name. The only one that debuted in 1949 is the 2-player version pictured here and is the only one of the 2-player glasses where player scores are tallied horizontally. The earliest reference we found for this game was in The Billboard, Oct-29-1949, pages 119-120 indicating the game debuted "last week." Chicago Coin announced in The Billboard, Nov-12-1949, page 86 that samples were being shipped to distributors. It would be shipped to operators on dime play but was convertible to nickel operation. used
