TH E O F F IC IA L IS B UILT R IG H T !
The OFFICIAL is built as the official race horse game should be: Without
a Flaw.
From its sure-working coin chute to its pick-proof lock, it js perfect.
Just to get an ]idea of how thoughtfully the OFFICIAL SWEEPSTAKES is
built for you, check over these points:
FO R C O U N T E R O R S T A N D S !
To begin, the OFFICIAL SWEEPSTAKES is a handy size: 12 inches high,
1 5 inches wide, and 1 3 inches from front to back. To you this means you can
very easily place it on a counter. And for this purpose, it comes equipped
with vacuum cup feet. Or, if you want, you can place it on a solid Wood
or Steel Stand.
F O U R -W A Y P L A Y
The O F F IC IA L 'S little "m a g ic
b a ll" is g o in g to change the
w hole picture o f race horse
games.
The OFFICIAL suits all the players because it takes pennies, nickels, dimes,
or quarters.

been needed rig h t a lo n g . A n d
now you have it.
F o o l- P r o o f In d ic a to r a n d T e ll-T a le " B a la n c e "
The OFFICIAL has an exclusive indicator. The player picks his horse by
number and sets the indicator accordingly.
His coin is then registered in the back of the machine under the corresponding
number. Once the race starts a special locking device makes it impossible

N o t an e xperim ent, not a

P A R I-M U T U E L feature.
Everything shows up through the Register Window in the back. Thus, the man
behind the counter can always see (1) what horse was picked and (2) what
coin was played.
Then, too, the OFFICIAL SWEEF^TAKES has a delicately balanced
indicator. It is as sensitive as the magnetic needle of a compass. The slightest
attempt at tilting or jarring tilts the "Balance" and tells.
