- 1 ball for 5 cents. This version used a dial handle in the front to lift the ball instead of a crank handle. Player shot the ball into play using a small "throwing device" (vertical plunger). Landing the ball into the top center hole paid a dollar prize. The thirteen score troughs at playfield bottom alternated between seven that paid between 10 cents and 50 cents, and six that paid nothing.
The cabinet contained a magazine of 500 balls, dispensing one per play. Played balls ended up in a separate area and did not recycle. When all 500 balls had been played, the operator had to open the game and move the played balls back into the first magazine.
