The voice of Progress has been for
“ something new, something different,
something better.” And now at last,
American brains and ingenuity have
answered this demand by creating E-Z
ACES, faster than the fastest, the
world's finest game. For the first time
in history comes a game that offers
the player all the thrills and satisfac­
tion of accomplishment by SKILLFUL
manipulation. For SKILL is the key­
note of this most modern of all coin
operated games. E-Z ACES, a revo­
lutionary n e w idea.
Many card
games can be played and it isn’t luck
that groups the winning hand— it’s
SKILL. Amazing? There never has
been anything like it.
It is a me­
chanical game on a new principle.
Every appealing quality that any other
game ever has had is present in E-Z
ACES, intensified in its exciting in­
terest. The luck element is removed,
SKILL takes the place of chance. Over
two years was spent in developing
this remarkable coin machine. There’s
never been anything like it.

Here is the big SKILL feature of E-Z
ACES, the new Idea, the new Innovation
that makes it different. As the ball is
racing around the outside rim of the
track, the player grasps the crank, as
shown at the right, with his right hand.
This crank is perfectly synchronized with
the circular playing field that contains the
different card symbols and the holes for
the ball to drop into. By turning this
crank fast or slow, forward or backward,
the player thereby turns the circular play­
ing field fast or slow, forward or back­
ward. By SKILLFUL manipulation the
playing field can be moved fast enough to
set up a centrifugal force that will hold
the ball on the outside rim of the wheel
until the ball is in front of and on the
desired number being played foi— and
thus, by means of SKILL, and SKILL
alone, can the player guide the ball Into
whatever hole he desires.
WILL PULL CROWDS AND HOLD THEM -
IT ’S REVOLUTIONARY
