News Around . the Trade
Coin machine manufacturers are
again in the ne:ws with numerous new
developments.
Bally, for one, has released during
the past thirty · days such notable new
games as Nudgy, Silver Streak, and
Jockey Special. The latter game now
in its second month has given to the •
public a new adaptation of the original
play incentive "Mystic Flash" now
known as "Horseshoe Flash." Prece-
dent. for this' play stimulating feature
was set in the original use in Entry.
After playing all desired multiple
coins for changing odds and selections,
the player may press the Horseshoe
• button and deposit · additional coins • to
play for five big special advantages.
Number one, place section receives
win odds. Number two, show section
receives win odds. Number three show
section receives top odds.
Seasoned game operators will im~
mediately appreciate the added incen-
tive these features give to this type
game. New and prospective operators
will grasp the possiblities in operation
of games of this type.
Something new in player controlled
novelty games is offered in Nudgy.
• It is obvious from the name of the
game that an extra nudge to win is
offered the player. This is the first
new . playing principle since bumper
type games appeared in pre-war days.
Lew Jaffa of Eastern Electric Vend-
ing Machine Corp., distributors of
Electro electric cigarette vending ma-
chine advises that the manufacturer
has revamped the production system
whic'h now permits the use of one thin
luminite tube in the merchandise win-
dow compartment, instead of many-
small bulbs. A new socket was de-
veloped which makes a permanent con-
tact which in turn accommodates the
new tube or bulb without straining the
bulb beyond the normal function.
Thru • this new lighting system
Electro vendors will appeal to the
service man a s it improves display and
avoids service problems incidental to
multiple lights .
The flow ·of coin machine visitors in
and out of the Chicago plants during
the past two or three weeks reveals
either a keen curiosity on the part of
outly 1 ing operators and distributors or
some activity going on that porten~s
big· news soon .
