Information from the Billboard ad, similar to the flyer description:

All bumpers count for 100 points. On the first 5 hits the red lites are lited. On the next 5 the green lites are on. If a ball passes over a red skill lane when the red lites are on, 1000 points are registered. When the green lites are on and the ball passes over a green skill lane, 1000 points are added. Amber lighted skill lane registers 1000 points at all times. Skill lanes at the bottom of the board keep the play alive to the end of play. When player reaches a certain high score an extra ball is released for play.

Notes: Initially available in two models: 5-ball novelty or free game model. In January 1939, a reserve version was also advertised.
