For $.05, a player got 10 balls to play. One of
the ten balls was a brownish red color, the rest were white. The red
ball is worth double points. The player would count up their points at
the end and claim their prize from the location. This machine has a
distinctive Art Deco appearance with stair stepped sides and a chrome
diamond shaped plunger cover. This is a great piece of history and an interesting game to
play. You'll notice a picture of the machine next to my Pharaoh machine
to compare sizes. There is no back box. The machine and legs are made of
wood. As you can see in the video, there is a spring loaded board
underneath the playing surface. When a nickle is pushed into the coin
mechanism, the mechanism pushes the spring loaded board forward dropping
the marbles into a lower level. Gravity carries them back towards the
collection plate and the plate funnels them back to the plunger. This
could be a wonderful piece for your collection.
