- A [[gameplay-feature:bank-drop-targets]] configuration with nine [[gameplay-feature:drop-targets]] in a row — one of the longest standard bank sizes. Nearly always themed around card games, the nine-bank represented a full poker hand or playing card sequence, demanding sustained accuracy across the entire bank. IPDB catalogs approximately 15 machines with this configuration. [[manufacturer:gottlieb]] employed it most often, with *[[title:royal-flush]]* (1976) and *[[title:spirit-of-76]]* (1975) among the notable examples. Completing a nine-bank was a significant accomplishment, typically awarding large bonuses proportional to the difficulty.
