    5 balls for 1 cent. Free Play holes (2). Three large U-shaped scoring pockets, each shaped like an equine horseshoe, are in a row across the bottom of the playfield. Directly above the center pocket is another large horseshoe that rotates. When the player operates the ball lift knob, this action mechanically winds up the revolving horseshoe to start turning immediately, just long enough and at just the right speed to allow the player to judge and time each shot, to land the ball in play into this revolving horseshoe so that it delivers the ball into the high-scoring pocket below it. Game advertised as 30 inches long and 16 inches wide.
