    10 cents for 1 player or 20 cents for 2-players. Kick-out hole (1). The flyer indicates playing doubles as an option for a 4-player game. The ones and tens digits of backbox score displays are dummy score reels. Very similar to Williams' 1956 'Score Pool' and United's 1956 'Hi-Score Pool' but has additional mechanisms to provide 'bonus build-up' and 'progressive high scoring' options. An 'Olympic' hole at top of playfield catches the ball and kicks it back onto the playfield for an attempt to score again. It usually aims at the 500 point hole. Bumpers illuminate to indicate bonus level. Individual bonus levels acquired by player are 'remembered' for each player. Game is over after 10 balls have been scored.
