makes Le Mans another sure winner
for any location ."
four-player flipper Royal Flush . The

drop targets which light five combi-
nations of cards in a new Scan-

Standard's Series 50028
Change for a Five
Responding to a long standing
need by many amusement locations
for a large supply of quarters,
. Standard Change-Makers, Inc. of
Indianapolis has built the first $5 bill
changer. The Series 5002B dispens-
es 20 quarters and holds enough
coins for 200 vends.
The new bill changer is available in
two cabinets, a standard front
loading cabinet for mounting on a
wall, stand or post, or a rear-loading
cabinet that can be built into a back
room or service area wall and filled or
serviced out-of-sight .
Both are
heavy steel maximum security cabi-
nets; the rear-loading cabinet pro-
vides , however, an extra element of
personal security for the operator,
too .
The Series 5002B changer's bill
verification system is similar to the
highly accurate system used and
proved in thousands of Standard's
$1 bill changers; however, it is set to
take $5 bills only and will reject all
other currency .
If your amusement location de-
mands a large amount of change, the
Series 5002B changer provides max-
imum security and dependability to
suit your needs .
Video Blackjack
The games division of Mirco, Inc. ,
Phoenix, Az ., has announced pro-
duction and shipment of a new
video game which enables up to
four players to compete against a
dealer in a fast-moving, non-gam-
bling electronic version of blackjack .
Called 21, the new game will
accept up to four quarters as players
ante, hit, or stand in an attempt to
beat the machine which automati-
cally performs dealer functions such
as shuffling, dealing and scoring .
According to Patrick Burke , Mir-
co's marketing director for coin
products, the game has a number of
special features designed to make it
popular. These include free hands
and extra chips, a skill factor in
remembering which cards have
been dealt since a standard 52-card
deck is used, and simple, automatic
controls.
The game has been field -tested ,
and initial reports from operators
have been highly favorable, accord-
ing to Burke . Key operator features
include selectable settings, su ch as
game speed, number of hands dealt
and initial chip issue, compact size,
low maintenance and rugged cabin-
etry.
