ipdb.notes
IPDB The cabinet on this game looks too small to hold a payout mechanism therefore payouts would be provided by the location. The two Veeder counters equipped in this game likely allowed the operator to assess how many times payoff levels were achieved. A "10-year look-back" column in The Billboard Jul-17-1948 page 111, looking back to July 9, 1938, stated, "Genco Inc., introduced its much heralded Grand Slam game this week." used
