Derby Day
Description
The ball is launched via a pushbutton in the middle of the machine. The numbers of each of the six horses are across the top of the playfield. The horses mechanically advance across the backglass track each time the respective number is struck. Free games are fairly easy to get for experienced players and one could play all afternoon for a quarter.
