OUR GALLERY OF ALLWIN MACHINES

THE FIRST ALLWIN GAMING MACHINE
	This is one of the very first Allwin machines produced, circa 1915. The play board has a plain green felt backflash. Designed with 7 pockets and a ball return, these early era machines only had one payout cup and was predetermined when manufactured. Landing in any of the other 6 was a losing battle.
THE LAST OF THE ANTIQUES
	Circa 1920's added a new look to the case. Note the elaborately carved topflash. The technology stood still from the first machine until the mid 1920's. You will notice these machines did not have names or specific attributes that made any significant machine identification. As the Great Depression loomed on the horizon, ALLWIN machines were about to be reborn.
ADVERTISING FOR THE FIRST TIME
	In the Great Depression Allwin machines were redesigned to pay in sweets rather than coins. This Allwin dispenses mints. Notice that it was POLO Mints and marked a new marketing tool for the gum and mint companies. There were other machines produced that would dispense anything packaged in a small container.
THE ADVERTISING ERA CONTINUES
	Win a Chew is another example of the remanufactured Allwin that dispenses chewing gum. Perhaps the origin of Chicklets. One machine was called Lucky Strike and yes it dispensed Lucky Strike cigarettes. We have not been able to obtain one of these machines nor a picture. It is extremely rare as most of them were worn out in a very small time frame.
MONKEY MADNESS
	With the end of the Great Depression came colorful playboards and plain cases. Major artwork like the monkeys on this machine would be the beginning of graphics applied to the play boards. Machine production soared as players went looking for their favorite theme. Possibly the most important single event in the history of ALLWIN and later Pachinko.
TECHNOLOGY TAKES A GIANT LEAP
	Graphics continue to improve over the next 2 years and they added 3-D graphics. Most important about this Allwin is they introduced multiple win holes. Take Your Pick started a whole new generation of Allwin machines. This machine is stunning.
HONEST JOE IS NOT SO HONEST
	Single payout Allwin machines became more outrageous. Honest Joe looks like you have to win with 24 cups. However the easiest cup to land in is the 25th at the bottom of the spiral. This one paid nothing. Machines took on more of a Carnival look than a gaming machine.
CARNIVAL THEME - CARNIVAL CHANCES
	The end of another generation of Allwin machines. Strike 'em had 10 cups but also the losing cup in the spiral. The play boards continue to take on the Carnival appearance and all the losing cups slowed ALLWIN play due to the inability to win. Great things are ahead. Unfortunately the great play board graphics would be put to rest.
TECHNOLOGY TAKES A GIANT LEAP
	William Edward Bryan invented the new technology, the Bryans Elevenses, a multiple payout machine! This Allwin had eleven cups, all of them winners! This became the most popular Allwin machine of all times. Considering every ALLWIN machine from the very first day had single ball payout, this technology would never die. Pachinko machines made yet today use this technology. While it is now electronically controlled the ALLWIN would surely have become extinct had they not developed multiple payout. He went on to create 100's of different games including the vending machine rocking horse.
AUTOMATIC PAYOUT IS BORN
	Lucky Circle is a very rare Allwin. One of the very few with an automatic payout. Notice the absence of a payout knob. These types of machines were very unpopular. Players wanted to win and get to turn the knob for their prize. Las Vegas has spent the past ten years getting people used to not having a handle to pull and progress has been slow.
BONUS PAYOUT ARRIVE
	The Extrawin had a novel variable payout mechanism. In the centre of the playfield was a rotor that turned whenever the game payed out. Whenever a ball came to the top of the rotor, the machine payed out extra coins.
JACKPOT PLAY ADDED
	The Extrawin was refined and a Jackpot of coins in the middle of the play board was added. Antique Mills slot machines used this stack of coins method to attract players. Bonus and Jackpot machines were discontinued in the early 1940's and the technology reborn in 2003. It was a good ides 60 years ago and even better with the technology of the 2000's. This is another rare Allwin.
HIGH TECH COMES OF AGE
	Bryans 3-Ball Forks. One of the most complicated Allwins ever produced. As well as the multiple balls, this also incorporated a ball catching feature, and a playfield jackpot with automatic metering.
ALLWIN OR PACHINKO?
	The "Ball Past The Arrow". A very novel design which incorporated a large moving arrow in the middle of the playfield. The object of the game is to shoot the ball into any of the cups to the right of the arrow. This machine also had an automatic payout. While this was still an ALLWIN it begins to take on the appearance of Pachinko.
MASS PRODUCTION BEGINS
	The Retro age ends and ALLWIN machines take on the new look. Nostalgia Machines were mass produced and the end of Allwin machines was at hand. Here is Penny Points that shows operators wanted less fun and more payout for them.
ALLWIN GOES OUTER SPACE
	The first Allwin with an outer space theme. This is one of the most sought after Allwin of all time. Impossible to find and impossible to afford. It is a treasure.
THE BEST FOR LAST
	This is my favorite of all. Hole in One was a very simple game with a wonderful theme. One of the very last Allwin machines produced. An era gone but certainly not forgotton.
