Bumper
Bryans version of the fairground striker enticed players to drive a slug up an 18" scale by hitting the chrome knob at the bottom. If it landed adjacent to one of the 28 winning positions, the machine paid automatically. There are eight 1s, twelve 2s, four 4s, three 8s and one 12 as a maximum prize. Few were made it would seem, as it was reportedly too generous to the skilful player and, unfortunately, no example is known to exist. |
