Sorry about picture but it's all I could copy from eBay search page as the listing itself had been removed.

This looks to be a bit different although perhaps way too late for some of you. Any info on how it worked?

Tails please....

I think Brenco did this machine in couple of different cabinet styles?
I would think it is mid '70s and maybe the win award wheel or light spins around. And there is a flashing light 'heads or tails' and if you choose correctly you win the award shown on the award spinner? It wouldn't surprise me if there was a no win too, like 0 in roulette?

I wonder if there are any serious Brenco collectors that have all their machines in their games room without a Mills or Jennings in sight? Be great to see them all lined
up and in working order, but I have my doubts. As a kid I must have lost a small fortune on the Brenco money bank banker silver strike bullion machines...............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
