- IPDB 'Les Deux As' translates to 'The Two Aces'. This game was located in France and the images we saw of it showed a wood cabinet large enough to be a pin table yet it rested on a metal stand. The playfield has metal rails forming three narrow vertical lanes of four trap holes each, and the narrowness of these lanes makes it difficult to see how a ball in any hole would not block the lane, disallowing other balls to roll past it towards the other holes further down in the lane. Regardless, the three lanes combine at the bottom of the playfield into a single vertical lane that contains two snap traps which are devices that do allow balls to pass by. This final lane drains to the outhole trough at playfield bottom. The playfield is unpainted wood except for a small diamond pip near the upper snap trap and a small heart pip near the lower one. The cabinet front has a coin slide at the extreme left side with a key-locked wood door to its right. The ball shooter knob is in the upper right and the ball lift knob in the lower right. In the center of the cabinet front is the pull knob that delivers earned tokens to the payout cup beneath it. The instruction card on lower apron shows the game name in between a heart and diamond pip along with numbered French instructions, translated below: 1. Mettez une piece de 25cts dans le monnayeur et poussez a fond. Insert a 25cts coin in the coin slot and push till the end of stroke. 2. Montez les billes une a une sur le plateau et les lancer en vous servant de la reglette graduee. Raise the balls one at a time onto the playfield and launch them using the gauge 3. Si une bille abaisse l�un des deux clapets, vous gagnerez un jeton de consommation de 50cts ou (unreadable because of the camera flash) (en poussant ??) le bouton central. If ball falls into one of the gobble holes, you will obtain a consumption token worth 50Cts or ???cts by pushing the center button. used
