- 10 balls for 1 cent. Six chrome "snapping traps" automatically closed when a ball landed in each, then opened again once the ball score was recorded on the totalizer. The totalizer also recorded every winning score and payoff, unless tilted, and this feature was promoted in advertising as being an end to disputes between operators and location owners at collection time.
- ipdb.notes
- The cabinet was initially advertised as having the same dimensions as Genco's 1933 'Silver Cup' which was 36 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 40 inches high. Subsequent ads indicate an "Improved" version being 37 1/2 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 40 inches high. A Senior Model was listed as 44 inches long, 19 1/2 inches wide, and 43 inches high.
One of the "improvements" was to increase a center hole value from 100 points to 1000 points. Two examples of the improved version are shown here. One has the Indian head at playfield center while the other does not.
There are three versions of the large totalizer at playfield bottom. The original design showed a silver-colored "Indian wingspread" (two different styles of wingspread are shown here), but later castings instead showed a pair of Indian heads. A third casting of this totalizer was gold-colored and showed a single Indian head. From available information, it is not certain if any change in totalizer design coincided with the introductions of the "Improved" and "Senior" versions, or if the changes happened on separate occasions.
