About This Machine
This entry is a phantom: there is no evidence that United Manufacturing Company of Chicago ever produced a game called 'Jolly Joker'. The listing appears to stem from a misattribution, and the Internet Pinball Database has noted that it will be deleted.
The likely source of the confusion is Williams' 1955 'Jolly Joker', a flipperless rolldown game designed by Harry Williams. In the November 12, 1955 issue of Billboard magazine, a Williams sales manager indicated that a second release of that game had begun, and this November 1955 date seems to have been mistakenly recorded under United's name.
Collectors and researchers looking for a 1955 'Jolly Joker' should refer to the Williams machine of that name.
