Coin Slot Magazine - #081 - 1981 - November [International Arcade Museum]
• THE COVER •
The old West was crisscrossed by prospectors looking for the
end of the rainbow and its proverbial pot of gold. Their likeness and
that of other western figures has been recaptured in the Bill Harris
Western Figure Collection. The cover features Zacariah and his
pack mule who will soon be found in the Golden Nugget Casino in
Las Vegas.
