    5 pfennig per play. Snap traps (10). The name of this game appears at the top of the playfield and is hyphenated. The playfield shows two images of jockeys riding horses. One rider is shown with flag we cannot discern (may be a swastika flag) and the other rider is shown with the national flag of Germany. A wood-covered totalizer is in the lower playfield. The game in the picture we saw had one coin slot and one coin return. The cabinet corners have bolt holes for the attachment of legs. Two long vertical rails in center playfield isolate two trap holes from the rest of the playfield and may have been added after the game left the factory. The other traps have rows of pins on each side of them to act as guide rails.
    ipdb.notes
    A manufacturer flyer printed the name of this game as "ERBU-BALL 1b". The game pictured did not appear to have the two long vertical rails in center playfield. The playfield layout and totalizer is almost identical to Gottlieb's 1933 'Big Broadcast (Junior)' and does not show the manufacturer's name on it.
