    ipdb.notable_features
    One ball per game. This game has a "Cash-in or Replay" feature on front of cabinet. After playing a game, the player can push the "Award" button to collect any winnings earned. Or, the player can push the "Replay" button to play a second game without inserting another coin, and the possible awards of 10� to $2 are increased to range from 20� to $20. We infer that all winnings from the first game are sacrificed when the "Replay" button is selected. Possible awards on first play: 10� 20� 30� 50� $1 $2 Possible awards on replay: 20� to $20 The Velvet Hole pays $2 on either first or second plays. Replay awards of $2 and over are made in tickets. (Other text we have seen indicates only awards over $2 are paid in tickets.) Cabinet advertised as 52 inches long and 26 inches wide.
