    ipdb.notes
    This game has no payout mechanism and is a conversion of Bally's 1949 'Champion'. It has some 1950's licenses on it, from Seattle, Washington. Inexplicably, it has the front door of Bally's 1948 'Citation', complete with game tag. The date of this conversion is unknown. The Tanforan Race Track was originally built in 1899 in San Bruno, California. Several famous horses raced there, including Seabiscuit. It was used as an internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II. Horses, cars, and airplanes all raced at Tanforan until it burned down in 1964. The site is now a shopping mall.
