    ipdb.notes
    Game was available with a check separator at additional cost. This is the updated version of Model 29 Bally's 1935 'Jumbo' and came in a combination ticket dispenser and payout, and included a drawer for batteries, making them easier to change. The manufacturer had indicated that the cabinet has a "special ticket-loading door" but that may be merely the usual opening below the coin slide that is the typical placement for the ticket vending mechanism. In October 1935, Bally President Ray Moloney stated this game was Bally�s greatest seller and greatest money maker they�d ever built.
