THE
Brand New—Different—Extremely Unique
Get in early on this fast-moving money-maker. This
machine has just the right combination of skill and luck.
The player places coin in latest type cheat-proof coin
chute and turns knob at top of machine to clear rods of
last score. Then he strikes the five levers down, each
lever in turn, which registers poker hands or numbers as
the player chooses. This is the only card machine made
with a complete deck before the player. The machine
vends gum if the player wishes, but no gum is delivered
unless the special gum lever is operated at the side. This
is a sure-fire hit.
You have been wanting a machine of this type a long
time—the thrill of a gambling machine only strictly legal
and designed to be used in the tightest "blue-law” places.
Think o f a legitimate machine with all the suspense,
anxiety, tantalizing chance of a horse race, prize fight, or
baseball game. DING THE DINGER is the One counter
machine that is the center of attraction wherever placed.
And a ball of gum for those who want a chew and an
extra number dial free for those who would rather play
for numbers than card hands. What could be more
complete?
