Notes: The images shown here and attributed to Russ Jensen show a cabinet and coin door, both having artwork that does not match the game shown in the manufacturer's flyer. We cannot see its side cabinet art in these images but the art around the coin door does appear on Gottlieb's Jockey Club from April 1954. We have found no similar coin door art on other games.

A second game shown here has the same coin door art as in the Jensen pictures while its cabinet art does match the game in the flyer.

If anyone can identify another game that has this coin door artwork, please contact us.
