    This is a table top game with a vertical playfield. Its height has been listed at 14 inches in the book Drop Coin Here. This game is not listed in all pinball resources, perhaps because it's small and vertical, resembling a pachinko game more than a traditional pinball machine. However, it does have pins, pinballs, and a ball shooter, therefore we did not classify it as Not A Pinball. In the Encyclopedia of Pinball Vol 1, author Dick Bueschel writes that Gottlieb was making 'Chuck-O-Luck' by late 1931. Volume 1 does not include this game in its exhaustive list of 1930-1933 pinball machines.
