~1969 玉入れゲーム (ball toss game) by 日本自動販売機 (Nihon Jidô Hanbaiki — Game Mate) & カトウ (Kato)


Name: 玉入れゲーム (ball toss game)
Year: ~1969
Company: 日本自動販売機 (Nihon Jidô Hanbaiki — Game Mate)  & カトウ (Kato)

This game has a central spinner, similar to Bally's game Spinner.  Balls that enter holes on either side can be ejected into the upper basket when the player presses a corresponding button.  We could say that Champion Long Shoot [Champion Shoot Ball] - ロングシュート by 日本自動販売機 (Nihon Jidô Hanbaiki) & 昭和遊園 (Showa Yuen) is similar gameplay, just stretch out into a wider cabinet.

This game appears in the 1969 machine directory.

In the company index, this game is listed by both Kato and Nihon Jidô Hanbaiki.

I have no further year information, so this machine could have been made in 1969 or earlier.
