In addition to the spinning horses
the action is further enlivened by a
ball which rolls around the track com­
ing to rest on numbered spots similar
to roulette. This double action not
only increases the playing interest but
makes the chances even more alluring.
The game has shown an unusual earn­
ing power, and because of this the
Rock-Ola plant has been busy turning
out machines to supply the demand.
The machine Wings offers some­
thing new in the way of cabinet games.
The spinning disc adds to the suspense
angle requiring great dexterity on the
part of the player to so manipulate
the action of the balls as to improve
his score. This game is now furnished
in a walnut finished cabinet and is en­
joying a wide popularity throughout
the country.

• A visit to the Rock-Ola Manufac­
turing Corporation’s plant a few days
ago revealed an activity that shows
that business is injoying an increase
as a result of the New Deal. In addi­
tion to working on a large run of or­
ders for scales the production depart­
ment was busy turning out Official
Swepstakes and Wings.
Official Sweepstakes is a race horse
game that provides unlimited advan­
tages to the players. The machine
offers 60 different odds ranging from
2-to-l to 30-to-l. The unique design
is a wide departure from games of
this type.

slot and pulling out a small control
handle, the player sets a revolving
table in motion. Three dice are spun
on this table, which continues to re­

taxes, and price wars have practically
wiped out the profit on cigarettes in
many localities, and it is therefore ex­
