Item Details
Description
Paces Races, Pace / Evans, 1934 to 1946, the first console slot machine. The player bets on one or more of the seven horses. The player then pushes a button and the horses race. The odds wheel then spins (note after the horses start the race!). Upon completion of the race, the game pays out in a hidden drawer. In 1946 Evans took over the manufacturing and converted some of the functions like odds and payout to electronic functions. The horses were still driven by the player piano roll and the pneumatics. There is a tiny pinball in the bowels of the game. When the first horse passes the 3/4 mark, the game kicks the pinball up the table. It bounces around for a bit and as soon as it returns to the bottom, the horse in the lead at that time gets two kicks for every hole compared to the others single. The appearance is one horse suddenly pulling away and winning. CONDITION: An extremely rare version of this race machine is restored condition showing virtually no wear and in operating condition. This is an electromechanical game and sensitive to movement. We can not guarantee operation when delivered to the new owner. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. Condition: (Restored). Dimensions: 22" x 46" x 38".
