    10 balls for 5 cents. Trap holes (26). Player shoots ten differently-colored balls to land in playfield holes which light corresponding score values on backglass. This Junior version was advertised as 40 inches by 21 inches. The game pictured here measured approximately 38 inches by 20 1/4 inches. It has no payout mechanism and no backbox. We have no picture of the rear of this game to see if a backbox is supposed to be part of the Junior version. Its batteries have been replaced with a transformer.
    ipdb.notes
    The name of this game, Kelly Pool, is a reference to a certain type of rule set for billiards that is played with 2 to 15 players and with the standard set of 15 numbered balls and a cue ball. See also Gottlieb's 1935 'Kelly Pool (Senior)'.
