About This Machine
Pamco Leathernecks, manufactured by Pacific Amusement Manufacturing Company (PAMCO) of Chicago in June 1936, is a single-player electro-mechanical payout machine.
As a payout machine, Leathernecks would have dispensed coins directly to winning players rather than awarding free replays, a common model for coin-operated machines of the mid-1930s in jurisdictions that permitted it.
Little detailed information survives about Leathernecks' specific gameplay features, artwork, or designer. PAMCO operated only from 1932 to 1937, and Leathernecks stands as a representative, if sparsely documented, example of the company's mid-1930s output.
