Hey guys,

Era is pretty old, probably late 60’s, early 70’s.  The unique thing he remembers it had a different style of “match” at the end, where if the last 3 digits of your score when the game ended matched “111” (I thinks), you’d win a free game.  The “111” was written somewhere on the backglass.

Does that ring a bell?

Would it be: Saddle and Turf, 1953, but it is not a pinball?

I'll check with him.  He was a pinball fan back then, so I would think he'd remember if we're talking about a pinball machine.  A google search popped up "Peter Pan" as a potential, but a quick search could find no pics viewable from work.

1955 Williams woodrail with the rare per-ball STAR (match) feature. Although Peter Pan is a true five-ball flipper pinball, it also has a 3-digit odometer replay unit and knock-off button just like a bingo machine. The STAR feature was pure chance. After each ball drained, a match number appeared and a star would light on the backglass if there was a match. Getting 2, 3, 4, or 5 lit stars during a game would win free games, with 5 stars awarding a whopping 200 replays. Of course, the location would usually just pay the player in cash and knock the games off.
