    ipdb.notes
    The 4-player version of this game made for export is Bally's 1982 'Speakeasy 4'. 'Speakeasy' was also made as a prototype in a single player machine. A "speakeasy" was one of the many saloons in the United States that illegally served alcoholic beverages during Prohibition, which was the period from 1920 to 1933 in which national law prohibited the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating beverages. Prior to Prohibition, the saloons admitted only men as patrons, but as speakeasies they allowed both men and women. The woman on the backglass is reportedly wearing either Etruscan revival or Egyptian revival jewelry, both popular in the 1920's. Reportedly, all playfields in this production run were made of resin (plastic), not wood.
