    ipdb.notes
    An apparent copy of Peo's 1933 'Mat-Cha-Skor'. No manufacturer name or other information could be found anywhere on the game. The machine was purchased in France at an old warehouse sale, so the coin slot mechanism is expected to accept French coinage. However, specific coinage has not been verified. The text on lower playfield states: 40.000 est is moyenne des records �tablis par les bons joueurs de LUCKY-STRIKE BATTEZ-LES ET GAGNEZ LA PARTIE ! which roughly translates to indicate that 40,000 points is the maximum score to beat. Nine steel balls were found in this game. The correct quantity of balls is not confirmed, but to meet or beat 40,000 points, seven out of the nine balls would each have to score the highest value of 5000 points. The RECORD feature was described by the owner as a high point indicator having a slide to change the center color. The cat emblem is likely meant to be Felix the Cat, a cartoon character popular in the 1920's. The word felix is Latin for lucky. The entire play front is a green color while the actual playing area is a red circle. The red circle on green background was used on Lucky Strike cigarette packages until 1942.
