Wouldn't it be great if life served up gumballs when you crapped out? At least this 1939 coin-op dice game did. Nostalgia-warmed J.H. Keeney & Co. Spinner Winner was among the arcade-style slot machines to pop up as gambling grew after it was legalized in Nevada in 1931. Part dice game and even part roulette, this plug-in, pull-the-handle 12 by 16 by 7 inch, 30-pound classic was among an arsenal of games Keeney manufactured but are now tough to find. Great dice art on the front panel and a rich mahogany shell. Complete and working. EX.
