ipdb.notes
IPDB Similar to a pachinko machine. An article in The Billboard, Jan-4-1936 page 71 refers to this game as having five balls. According to a brief article in Automatic Age, Feb-1935 page 145, the manufacturer was in full production of this machine at that time. The article states, "For each of the seven balls there is a pocket of the same color. Awards are made according to the number of "matches" at the end of the game." We infer the awards are given by the location. used
