ipdb.notable_features
IPDB Game was available with a 5-cent coin chute, or a combination 5-10-25 cent coin chute. Mirrored backboard. Five colored balls are shot at one time. The order in which they landed in the outhole trough determined the payout, which was paid by the location. Red ball first = 2 free plays Red ball then white ball = 4 free plays Red, white, and black = 10 free plays Red, white, black, and yellow = 15 free plays Red, white, black, yellow, and green = 20 free plays The September 1935 Billboard ad shown here states, "The only game with the new automatic plunger". An owner confirms the game is entirely mechanical and slightly pulling the plunger knob releases a spring-loaded device to propel all five balls. We presume the spring is set by the action of pushing in the coin slide or the ball lift knob. The ad also states, "The merchant checks the rewards through the mirror backboard". That might be intended for instances when it is inconvenient for the merchant on location to walk up to the game (barkeeper behind the bar, for instance.) used
