DROP
CASE
A GAME WHICH
RESEMBLES A PINBALL MACHINE
A drop case is a game
which resembles a pinball machine. A marble is dropped
into a slot at the top of the Drop Case and makes its way down
to the bottom guided by a nail like pieces of metal which are
implanted to the back of the case.
The case is gaffed and
operated by a Grifter.
They are no longer in use
and are collector items.
A pinball machine is in
fact a mechanized and complicated drop case.
