This four-player machine from Chicago was rarely seen in arcades down the shore. Chicago coin machines were known for their rapid-fire scoring mechanisms and fast play fields. This machine, which was released in August, was designed by Al Schlappa, Jerry Koci and John Gore. The first carousel roto-targets ever made are incorporated into this play field. Hitting the A to E sequence advances the value of the roto-target values from 1x to 10x to 100x values. A hit of the star target when lit awards an extra ball. No specials abound here, just the option of points galore, eventually leading to replays. This is the first game by Chicago Coin to have the double return lanes made famous by Gottlieb years before. Try your luck at this unique and unusual game.
Here is another classic pinball machine with another variation on the theme of baseball. This game is a two-player machine with the classic center flap and bat arrangement. Hitting the center target awards different numbers of runs depending how the machine randomly lights the value of the target. If you’re skillful enough to complete all the “Yankee” targets in the one inning you have to play, this subtracts an out from your score. Three home run outfields exist on the playfield and appropriate ramps to skillfully address these targets are on hand. If you complete all three outfield slots, the game awards you extra runs. A special is possible by hitting the center target when lit. Animation in the form of moving lights representing base runners are present on the playfield and the backglass. Runs score free games set by the operator. Ten cents a game and three games for a quarter.
