Average game was advertised as being only 5 or 6 balls. Game was available in choice of nickel chute or multi-coin chute which accepted pennies, nickels, dimes, or quarters. It was advertised as 40 inches long by 19 inches wide. Battery operated.
    ipdb.notes
    Ray Maloney stated in The Billboard that the original Bally's 1935 'Frisky' was discontinued due to tremendous demand for the game 'Traffic' at a time when they were adjusting to their new factory location. Due to operator response, Bally started a second production run of this new, improved 'Frisky' with a different design on its larger cabinet, the addition of a back panel, a new award system, and a number of new unspecified features "to add action and suspense".
