    Trap holes (31), Passive bumpers (6), Skill Lane option for 5-ball jurisdictions. The Bally paperwork (not yet shown here) describes the game as not paying out coins directly to the player, Instead, Bally provided instructions to the location to manually reset both the totalizer and the reserve, and provide the player with sufficient coins to play any replays earned.
    ipdb.notes
    The backglass resembles the one on Bally's 1941 'Pimlico'. The schematic shows this dated authorship: Chas G Troeller 1-22-42 R.B. Charles G. Troeller was an employee of Bally. It shows the game name as two words (Long Acres) while both the Operating Instructions and the backglass show it as one word (Longacres). The earliest Billboard ad that we found online for this game was a distributor ad dated May-16-1942 page 97 where the game was advertised as a "brand new machine". The Longacres Racetrack operated in Renton, Washington from 1933 to 1992.
