    Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (2), Passive bumpers (3), Kick-out holes (2). Operating a knock-off button on the bottom of the cabinet removes the replays from the backglass meter. This feature allowed location owners to pay players for games won, as an incentive to play.
    ipdb.notes
    'Saratoga' was the first machine to feature an active bumper of the type that used a metal ring to repel the ball, identified in the manufacturer's flyer as a thumper bumper. This style of active bumper would soon replace the ones using a compressed spring to repel the ball, found in other games at the time. The earliest spring compression bumpers were found on Stoner's 1938 'Super-Zeta' and Stoner's 1938 'Zipper'. The upper playfield has two stationary bumpers that look like flippers.
