    ipdb.notable_features
    Up to 5 balls per play. Spring bumpers (14). Balls hitting bumpers add points to players "hand" (backglass score). First bumper hits scores 8 points. Subsequent hits add 1 point each. Player tries for a hand of 16 to 21, but not over 21. Once a desired score is achieved, the player "stands" by pressing a button on the front of the cabinet which flashes the Dealer's hand on the backglass. If player beats Dealer, or if Dealer busts, the player is awarded between 2 and 20 points.

    In the Billboard ad shown here, Keeney referred to their bumper as a "spiral spring".
