    1 ball for 5 cents, or 3 balls for 5 cents. Prizes placed underneath plate glass playfield are visible to the player. Advertised as 40 1/2 inchs long by 18 1/2 inches wide. Explanation of game play: Insert coin in chute which releases balls. Shoot ball as in an ordinary game which runs over a polished glass playing field which, in turn, sets arrow in motion. Arrow comes to rest on numbers. When number corresponds to the merchandise indicated on the display the player gets that award. As arrow spins, ball automatically clears a primary playing field in the big circle and does a few tricks of its own in the secondary playing field at the bottom of the board where the player has a second chance at the winner.
