Notes: The 2-player version of this game is Gottlieb's 1970 'Mini Cycle'. The playfield layout was used again on Gottlieb's 1972 'Space Orbit' made for export to Italy.

We included in this listing a picture of a gambling device having a backglass that clearly copies 'Polo'.

We previously showed a date for this game of February 1970. The new date is per Gottlieb documentation.
