Notes: The cabinet art depicted the 1939 New York World's Fair, including the Trylon and Perisphere. The Trylon, a triangular tower measuring 610 feet high, and the Perisphere, a globe measuring 180 feet in diameter, were the theme of the Fair's "World of Tomorrow".

The backglass of one of the games pictured here shows the name 'Red Cap'. As this is a replay game, we don't know the reason for the change as usually this was an alteration done by an operator to a payout game to avoid its confiscation by the local authorities. The serial number on its cabinet and the Instruction Card both indicate the original 'Red Hot' name.
