- ipdb.notes
- IPDB 'Les Fl�ches' translates to 'The Arrows'. The tokens are marked as redeemable for equivalent values of 25, 50, or 75 centimes. Luck determines which value of token is awarded, with the 50c tokens fewer in number than the 25c ones, and the 75c ones being the fewest of all. Typically the tokens would be redeemed for drinks or cigarettes where the game was located, although after 1934 these games were against the law in France except in registered casinos, and so reportedly the regular bar owners did not want to have them. The art d�co paint on the cabinet and legs is typical of French games of the 1930's. There are two versions of this game pictured in this listing. Neither game offers any clues as to which one was made first. There are no patent numbers or copyright dates on either machine. One has a paper instruction card and the other has a more sophisticated playfield with a metal instruction card. Both have lockdown bars identified as reproductions. Although only one game shows the MAGISTER name on it, both games had the same tokens inside of them. The owner's research found only that a brand name MAGISTER was registered in Paris in 1928 by Louis Wolf, a phonograph manufacturer. No direct information about this game could be found. The owner reports having seen a version of this game at auction called 'Les R�gates' that has little boats instead of arrows. used

- IPDB 10 balls for 25 centimes. Snap traps (3). After inserting the coin, pushing the knob beneath the coin slot releases the balls for play. Each playfield arrow pivots when hit by the ball but is pulled back into place by a small spring attaching the feathered end of the arrow to the playfield. A ball landing in the winning hole allows the player to pull a knob on the right side of the cabinet to deliver a token into the cup beneath it. The tokens are loaded by the operator into the game at the rear of the cabinet, where a protruding special lock covers the tube that contains them. The operator can measure how many tokens are left in the game by inserting the appropriate tool into a hole in the center of this lock. Game measures 115 cm long, 55 cm wide, 97 cm high in front, 103 cm high in back. Detachable legs. used
