Typical of most BMCo. products of the 1930s, this game was for 'amusement only', rewarding the return of the coin for landing the ball in the moon.

Ostensibly a fairly standard five-win type, what makes the Wizard special is its unique auto-payout mechanism. The coins are stacked end to end in a vertical channel, and released one at a time when the ball falls into a winning hole.

These games started life as Pierre Bussoz Giruoettes, but were re-cased and restyled for the British market. You placed your bet on one of three girls by turning the knob (bottom of frame) to green, red or blue. After cranking the handle, the image breaks into two fast spinning halves, before settling again on one image. A winner paid 2D.

The object is to guide the ball by tilting the upper track before pressing the button to drop it over each cannon in turn. Knock all cannons down for your coin back.

Aim for the top pocket. Failing that, you have to press the correct key, opening one of four traps in an attempt to catch the ball. A voucher is awarded if successful. Patent GB190913783

Gothic and gruesome, this spring-driven working model's torture theme is typical of the genre.

Inserting a coin causes the dial to spin alternately clockwise and anti-clockwise, driven by the weight of the coin.

Iconic seaside arcade piece, the tall Lighthouse Grip tester was in imposing sight in any arcade. The object was to progressively light the windows by squeezing the handles together, attempting to reach the beacon at the top, whereupon a siren announced your achievement to everyone.
