The inner workings of Allwin slot machines

Old fashioned Allwin slot machines, also known as coin repeat wall machines, were a forerunner to contemporary pinball machines. Essentially, players drop a coin in a slot, wait until a ball bearing is released and try to get it to land inside a winning receptacle using a spring. The game looks easy but requires skill and plenty of know-how. Vintage multiple column Allwins like 'The Fill 'Em Up', 'What's My Line' and 'Many Happy Returns' were tougher to complete because players had to fill up a column in full to make any winnings. With numerous drop case slot machines, such as 'The Smithy', ball bearings were done away with and instead the actual coin entered by each player would be propelled around the machine to deliver the cash in the payout channel. Other types of of Allwin slot machine include 'Little Mickey', 'Playball', 'The Flyer', 'Lucky Star', 'Cresta Run' and 'Lucky Circle', which were designed by B.M.Co in the early 1900s.
