How do Allwin slot machines work?

Classic Allwin slot machines, better known as coin repeat wall machines, were the predecessors of modern pinball machines. In essence, players put a coin in a slot, wait for a ball bearing to be released and do their best to coax it into a cup with the help of a spring. Even though the game appears quite simple, skill and know-how are definitely needed. Collectible multiple column Allwins like 'What's My Line' and 'Many Happy Returns' were harder to master because players had to fill up a whole column of balls to win. With many drop case slot machines, like 'The Smithy' and 'The Cascade', ball bearings were removed and instead the actual coin inserted by each player was used to shoot around the machine and deliver the money in the payout slide. Other types of of Allwin slot machine include 'The Flyer', 'Lucky Star', 'Cresta Run', 'Lucky Circle', 'Little Mickey' and 'Playball', which were all manufactured by B.M.Co in the 1930s.
