ipdb.notes
IPDB This game is Not A Pinball. It operates like a slot machine. It has a glass playfield with no moving parts but has slot machine symbols that are lit from behind after the player pulls the side handle. It pays out according to the award schedule on the backglass into a spring-loaded metal cup located on the front underside of the machine. The Spinning Reels article of September 1937 states this game uses the same mechanisms as the Mystery Blue Front Bell slot machine of 1933. Compare the cabinet and coin slot to the pinball machine Mills' 1935 'Ten Grand'. For locations where this "Bell Fruit" model was not desired, Mills soon made available a "Race Horse" model. We previously showed a date of November 1937 for the "Bell Fruit" model. Price when new: 5c play = $149.50 See also Mills' 1937 'Flasher (Race Horse)'. used
