    1 ball for 5 cents. Free Play holes (2). The playfield holes are marked with numbers representing instant cash payout even though the instruction card refers to these awards as 'points'. For instance, '10' pays two nickels and '150' pays 30 nickels in the swing-out payout tray on the lower cabinet front. Operates on five dry-cell batteries. Advertised as 44 inches long by 22 inches wide. A ball landing in the 'Bally Hole' at top of playfield advances an arrow pointer for the word B-A-L-L-Y to indicate the award paid for that ball. The ball is returned to the player to shoot again. 1st time in hole earns 'B' for no award. 2nd time in hole earns 'A' for instant 10 cents payout. 3rd time in hole earns 'L' for instant additional 10 cents payout. 4th time in hole earns 'L' for instant additional 30 cents payout. 5th time in hole earns 'Y' for instant additional $6.50 payout. The maximum payment for this feature is $7.00 which pays $2.00 in nickels in the front payout drawer plus a token worth $5.00 dispensed to the payout cup on the right side of cabinet. Three outhole pockets at the very bottom of the playfield activate the Bonus dial shown on the lower right apron. Landing in either the left or right unmarked 'Bonus outholes" advance the dial counterclockwise one step. Landing in the center 'Bonus hole' collects the value shown on the dial. This feature will carry-over from game to game until a cash payout is awarded.
