How does an Allwin slot machine operate?
Old fashioned Allwin slot machines, also known as coin repeat wall machines, are a little bit like modern day pinball machines. In essence, players put a coin in a slot, wait for a ball bearing to be released and do their utmost to motion it into a compartment using a spring. The game looks straight forward but skill is definitely required for success. Antique multiple column Allwins, for example 'Many Happy Returns', 'The Fill 'Em Up' and 'What's My Line' were harder to master because players had to ensure a column was filled to capacity before they could win any cash. With a number of drop case slot machines, like 'The Cascade', the ball bearing element was removed and instead the actual coin utilised by each player would be forced around the machine to create the change in the payout trough. Other makes of of Allwin slot machine include 'Playball', 'The Flyer', 'Lucky Star', 'Cresta Run', 'Lucky Circle' and 'Little Mickey', which were built by B.M.Co around 1930.
