Notes: | Another game that allows the player to earn a second match number is Gottlieb's 1961 'Big Casino'. We previously showed a date for this game of March 1961. The new date is per Gottlieb documentation. Based on Edna Ferber's 1926 novel of the same name, Show Boat has been on Broadway and film several times each from 1927 to 1994. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
