About This Machine

Kentucky Derby Winners is an electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine manufactured by O. D. Jennings and Company of Chicago in August 1935. It is a single-player, one-ball payout machine built around a horse-racing theme, fitting Jennings' broader focus on coin-operated payout equipment during this period.

Specific details of Kentucky Derby Winners' playfield layout, scoring mechanisms, and artwork are not well documented. As a one-ball payout game, it would have offered a single shot per coin rather than the multi-ball replay format that became standard in later pinball.

Its 1935 release places it in the midst of the Great Depression, when horse racing remained a popular pastime, and coin-operated racing games like this one were common in the payout-machine market -- though further specifics about this particular machine's reception or history are not available.
