Watch your customers go for this supersize Jackpot, with its magnificent
money display. When reels line up on the Jackpot combination, player
presses button on side of Jackpot, and an avalanche of coins rushes into
the payout cup, filling it to overflow. Here is live action, to the heart’s
content of every player, because jackpot is paid in addition to the
award tokens which are issued at frequent intervals, on winning com­
binations.
Jackpot operation is very positive, and no amount of manipulation will
empty jackpot, unless the winning combination appears on the reels.
Jackpot is filled by hand, through opening in top, but paid automatically.
Tokens, which call for one to ten packs of cigarettes, may be replaced
in payout tube with quarters, which will be paid out in the customary
manner.
Jackpot Model is available in Penny or Nickel play, with any of the
reel combinations shown above.
The legal Ball Gum Vender, 300 balls capacity, helps you to open
many territories to the operation of this novel profit maker.
To meet the keen competition of 1938— operate "Sparks"— for sub­
stantial profits, and "certified payouts."
