    1 ball per game. Pop bumper (1), Kick-out hole (1), no flippers. Powerful slingshot kickers propel the ball to the upper playfield. The object is to light all eleven girls on the backglass for "skill points," as this novelty machine does not award replays. Hitting a numbered bumper 1 through 9 lights the corresponding numbered girl on the backglass. The kick-out hole value varies, with 2, 3, or 4 numbers lit at a time. When lit, numbers 10 and 11 are always lit together and the kickout hole is the only way to score girls 10 or 11. Falling into kick-out hole will lite its current values onto the backglass. The kick-out hole propels ball to the outhole. Maximum displayed point score is 94,000 points. While the glass shows that it might be possible to display 99,000 as the maximum score, the stepper inside the game only has 94 steps, making 94,000 points the maximum point score for the game.
    ipdb.notes
    A replay version Bally's 1960 'Island Queens' allowed more than one ball per play. The other replay version Bally's 1960 'Beach Queens' allowed only one ball per play. Instead of replays, "Skill Points" are displayed on the backglass in the form of lit dots above and below the point scores. These skill points are cumulative, and may be reset by cycling the power to the game. Skill points are mentioned on the scorecard on the apron, but not on the backglass, where they are represented by unlabeled lights.
