ipdb.notes
IPDB Available in both straight novelty and free game (replay) models. The Billboard article shown here and dated Mar-25-1938 indicates the game is "fully metered for the operators' protection." This likely means a payout register is included to allow for location payouts by counting the number of times a payable event has occurred so that the operator, when making his rounds to empty the coin box, will know how much to reimburse the location instead of taking the word of an unscrupulous location attendant. A handwritten list from Steve Kordek dated this game as January 1939 but the New Game Announcement shown here points to a release date of March 1939. used
