"No Columns To Fill... The columns are already Filled... One Ball Does It..." This is Wonders' cheeky attempt to better Ruffler & Walker's popular multi-ball allwins. It's really just a standard allwin pretending to be a multi-ball. It mimics the more complex, expensive games in scale, appearance and pay scheme and cleverly makes a virtue of the lack of any columns to fill. Usually there was a simple graphic over the chrome, representing the columns. |

Rowntree’s Fruit Gums
Confectionary rationing remained in force until 1953 (8 years after the war), making them a prized commodity. In response, allwins were introduced which paid out in sweets. Ruffler & Walker's version is well made with a solid oak case and adjustable sweet hopper to allow for any changes in product dimensions. |

Safari
This Jungle themed allwin has a layout almost identical to the Bryans Elevenses. Well-built, reliable mechanism, this one has a laminated and painted plywood cabinet, but it was also produced in solid wood. |

This game has a unique payout system, varying from 2-12 pennies depending upon prior payouts. This is achieved with an ingenious but simple double hopper. The first holds up to 41 pennies and pays two coins to the player and two to the cashbox upon every win. The second, which drops its entire contents upon a win, holds up to 10. The result is that skilful players are rewarded with many smaller payouts and the less skilful receive occasional larger payouts. |

Steeple Chase
Three giant Wonders allwins employed this triple gallery arrangement, the other two being Big Wheel and Cannon Ball. Each win target pays 2D, but after a win on the top or middle galleries the ball re-emerges from a hole above the next gallery. This makes it possible to win 4 or 6 pennies as the ball makes its way down. |
