~ This is a remake of my Dec 2002 “3 Oddballs” page if you’re
tracking ~ ~ I cut it down to only the Twin Joker games since we have
some much nicer detail now – Enjoy! ~
?Here's the scoop on
these Twin Joker machines? ~ to rest in
one of many holes labeled as a playing card (eg Queen of Diamonds). You shoot
five balls to make up your hand. The next
player then has five balls and tries to shoot a better hand. Bets are placed
on the side I assume. Check IPD
and it was listed as 1000 produced but didn't really say anything about it. .
Are there
collectors of these types of machines that can give me a fair value on this
one (I know all the different factors, just a ballpark please)? closeouts
for a loooong time after being released. They are probably legal to operate
nearly everywhere, because the game
only collects a quarter (or whatever flat rate) to play 2-player-only, and
does not dispense anything that
could be cashed in. There is no point score, and the game certainly isn't
capable of evaluating poker hands. be
"scored" by a human, it has some resemblance to the earliest
pinballs of the 1930s. legally
ship bingo parts to states where bingo games were illegal. If interested I
can dig up the article. any regular
pinball either. The game was either a flipperless >pinball or else a bingo
which didn't pay off the winners. It definitely
went into close-out sales, so they over-produced it. It could have been a
"spoof" game, intended to be parted out immediately after purchase.
lock-in
relays, while it clears the board And lets the second player's hand sit in
the bingo-style trap holes. There are 25
holes, for 9 through ace of the four suits plus one joker.
Other than
the reinforced cabinets, shutter, and better balls lifts, really there aren’t
to many bingo parts in this
thing. Maybe those were the prize and why these were so brief in part count
and function. Maybe the idea
was to replace “worn, problematic, and cheat-prone” main frames on older
bingos……… I have
also been asked about the “New Joker” Ballys but I think they are a different
animal altogether. 1st I have only
seen these out of the U.K. and although there are quite a few machines there,
they are usually the later
model pins and in great shape. 2nd the hole configuration although
25 in number is the wrong foot print. #rd
the main cabinet it’s self is rather large and deep – More coffin-like –

~ There’s
a third one of these things and God only knows what it for – Laugh ~

those – Ping-Pong balls ~ ~
