- ipdb.notes
- The name of this game is displayed in the upper playfield using two hyphens, as "Master-Play-Boy".
An ad in Automatic Age, June 1932 page 150 indicates players can use the playfield's 52 cards and Joker to play Poker, Black Jack, or High Score, and that 10-ball play can be divided between 2 players to score 5 cards each. The ad describes the game as "now with a longer field" but its cabinet is 32 inches long whereas Gottlieb's 1932 'Play-Boy, Sr.' has a length of 34 inches, so perhaps there was an smaller, earlier model of Master-Play-Boy.
A sample game was available for $16.50 with optional wood stand for $2.50 or metal stand for $2.00.
