    Game was available in both payout and non-payout versions. It is uncertain how many balls per game the payout version has. This italicized text appeared in a Genco ad from December 1935 for the non-payout version which has 6 balls per play:TWO PLAYING FIELDS... FIRST BALL GOES TO THE LOWER - OTHER FIVE TO THE UPPER! The first ball travels past the rebound spring to the lower playing field. Here there are holes that designate the reward for skillful play. The player then has five balls to spell either of the words, Red, Blue, or White on the upper field. Extra large holes and one-inch steel balls add plenty of pep to the action.
