Coin Machine Show
IT HELD CROWDS spellbound from ~== E
morning 'til night.
IT WAS CALLED "the most brilliant
novelty game in years" by enthusi-
astic operators.

~==·
Frankly, SKILL JUMP surprised even ourselves with
the tremendous player fascination which it displayed
at the Coin Show. We were willing to admit that we
had a pretty good game, but we never anticipated you
operators would go wild with orders the way you did.
SKILL JUMP will delight you with its novel playing
action, it is positively tantalizing to play and to watch,
and yet its skill features are so obvious that authori-
ties everywhere are pronouncing it as 100% legal.
SKILL JUMP has a number of inclined surfaces,
down which a ball must roll before it can land in a
scoring pocket. These inclined surfaces can be mani-
pulated at will by player who has complete control
over the movement of the ball, by increasing or de-
creasing the amount of "tilt."
It takes steady nerves, correct timing and a sure hand
to have the ball jump from one lever to a lower one,
without plunging off into space-into an out pocket.
Seldom has there been a game with the come-on of
SKILL JUMP, many operators are running it without
award cards at all, such is the "let's try it again"
appetite which it creates.
Sharpshooters will find themselves powerfully at-
tracted to SKILL JUMP; however, an unpredictable
"chance action" in the last lap gives you complete
protection against them.
You can obtain SKILL JUMP as a Console Model or
for Counter operation; its moderate price is a pleas-
ant surprise and enables you to cover all of your
locations with this great money-getter.
Available in straight Nickel or straight Penny Play,
or combination Penny-Nickel-Dime Chute; last coin

REVIEW
/.c1t9 tlet1c~
Harry Evans, Long Beach-Los Angeles
operator, a nd "Steve" Brodie, of M.
Brodie C o., found out that they were n ot
as good as they thought tney were re-
cently when they were asked to pinch
hit in a Badminton double match at the
Long Beach Indoor Amusement Center.
Evans and Brodie were matched against
two of the best players on the coast so
they did not feel so badly about their
defeat. Their opponents were Thomas
and Caldwell of the L. B. Badminton
Club. The final scores were 4-15 and
7.15. In a singles match with Evans and
Thomas, Thomas won 6•15 and 8-15.

meetings of the Phonograph Operators'

Hugh Eyerly, Gardner s alesboard rep.,
made the rounds in Long Beach d uring
the m onth.
Joe Richarme, of Long Bea ch C oin
Machine Exchange, states he is well
pleased with the splendid results he
has been obtaining from his ads in THE
REVIEW. He has added a string of new
customers in Utah from his Janua ry
advertising.
Mrs. Jane Hopping is another new
Crescent C ity operator. Mrs. Hopping is
sticking to Wurlitzers and ha s quite a
number now out e a rning for her.
What's become of Lou Fa vorite? The
REVIEW reporter uncovered his present
whereabouts and found Lou deeply em-
broiled in selling mining stock.
Russell Hooker, Los Angeles, returned
from a trip ·to Oklahoma and mad e the
rounds in Long Beach last week.
"Lucky Roll" sales are on the in-
crease in San Francisco, says M. Brodie,
who has just received a sizeable order
from Dick Tyrrell. Tyrrell has recently
opened a new jobbing house in San
Francisco in partnership with George
Barnes at 1160 Mission Street.
Operators who use prize ball gum are
headed for trouble eventually. Two lo-
cation owners were picked up during
the month for having such a machine
in their establishments and each fined
$10.00 or 2 days in a Los Angeles court.
In such instances operators should, for
their own future interest, protect their
location owners to the extent of paying
the fines at least.
Recent visitors and customers at the
Long Beach Coin included I. B. Gayer
of San Bernardino and F. J. Meyers of
Redondo Beach.
