    ipdb.notes
    This game is a near copy of Gottlieb's 1977 'Lucky Card' which was a game made for export to Italy. The backglass artwork is slightly different and it does not have open-elbow inlanes of that game. Much of the game looks like Gottlieb parts. However, the score reel units do not have the expected Gottlieb brand marking. The coil wrappers are labeled A.M.I. On the backglass, the silkscreened value "10 Milions" is apparently misspelled. Also silkscreened on the backglass are one pip from each of three of the four playing card suits: the spade, diamond, and heart. Inexplicably missing is the club pip, and the backbox insert supports this omission. If those art elements are intended to count added balls, we would expected to have seen five of them, typical of other Italian add-a-ball games. The artist has signed both the backglass and playfield as 1977. Both carry a manufacturer logo with the name of this game instead of the name of the manufacturer. For more information on why this is so, read our Glossary entry for Gottlieb Made In Italy. On the game pictured here, the cabinet artwork looks after-factory, but we have no pictures of what the cabinet art should look like, other than comparing it to the Gottlieb export game. Inside the game, the drop-target unit has been removed and some wires have been cut elsewhere, indicating missing components.
