Jennings Announces
Race Machine
The “ Derby Special,” a product of
0. D. Jennings & Company, is a com­
pletely new type of horse-racing m a­
chine, and is believed to be the only
one of its kind ever produced.
To build a machine that would offer
players the sport of playing the
ponies, and at the same time vend
a high-grade type of merchandise
confections has long been a dream of
the Jennings management, it is said.
Now, after months of scientific ex­
perimentation, such a construction
■has been designed. The Jennings
“Derby Special.”
In cabinet and general appearance
it has the beauty and appeal of Jen­
nings’ popular Century of Progress
model, the “ Century.” It is bright,
colorful, has modernistic streamlines
that rank it among the most success­
ful and advanced constructions of the
time.
Play is simple. Player inserts
nickel in slot, selects a horse by ad­
justing an indicator located directly
to the left of two reels. On one of
these reels are numbered horses, in ­
stead of fruit or fortune cards as in
other types of machines. When lever
pulled the reels spin. I f reel pic­
turing horses’ heads stops at horse
having same number as the pony se­
lected on indicator, player gets cash
award. A m ount of the award is in ­
dicated on the second of the two
reels, which contains numbers 2-4-6­
8-12-16-20, indicating odds based on
the nickel inserted.
“ The Derby Special” is now under
construction in the Jennings factory.
Several hundred machines are ex­
pected to be operating in locations
all over the country within the next
few weeks and advance stock has al­
ready gone forward to branch m an­
n e r s for local distribution.
