- According to the Encyclopedia of Pinball Vol 1, Bally had sought an injunction to stop copycat manufacturers from making copies of their Bally's 1932 'Goofy (Junior)'. One of the copycat games was Genco's 1932 'Jiggers (Jr)' and another was Ace Novelty's 1932 'Who's Goofy'. Ace Novelty then cleverly escaped Bally's injunction by stopping their copycat game "Who's Goofy" and instead started making Jiggilo, a copy of the Jiggers game. Thus, Ace was now making a copy of a copy, and was no longer directly copying the Bally game.
This game was inexplicably misspelled as 'Jiggolo' in at least one advertisement of the time and may be listed this way in other pinball resources.
This game was also produced as a conversion kit in December, 1932. See Ace Novelty's 1932 'Jiggilo'.
