    ipdb.notable_features
    5 balls for 25 cents (in USA). Trap holes (20). All solid state with speech. Depositing multiple coins increases payout. At start of game, two random numbers in the numbered circle on backglass are lit. The object is to fill in the numbers that are between the random numbers. Player can also win by lighting four in a row of the fruit symbols on the backglass. As play begins, there is no ball lift. Instead, the balls on the playfield from the previous game are pushed upward by plastic posts located under each numbered hole. Each hole is surrounded by LEDs that light up as a ball drops in. A voice with Chinese accent calls out the numbers when achieved. If more than one ball lands in a given hole, the lights start flashing in the holes that are still needed for a win. There are at least ten different instrumental electronic renditions of American songs that play on the game. Only one song is played per game. Some of the songs have been identified as Love Potion No. 9, The Locomotion, Apache, Telstar, Flight of the Bumblebee, and Red River Valley. Cabinet measures 5 feet tall, 19 inches wide, and 33 inches deep. Ball composition: plastic, 11/16 inch in diameter.
