About This Machine

The Q. T. Pay Table is an electro-mechanical (EM) payout machine from the Mills Novelty Company, manufactured in November 1934. It marks an important step in the evolution of coin-operated games, introducing automatic payouts, a feature that would become a staple of later machines, along with a distinctive drop-down cabinet.

As a payout machine, the Q. T. Pay Table's mechanism was built for simplicity and efficiency rather than complex flipper-based skill shots, which had not yet been invented. Its electro-mechanical automatic payout system was notable engineering for its era.

The machine lacks a specific documented theme or artwork. Its historic significance lies in its early adoption of automatic-payout technology, offering collectors and historians a window into the origins of coin-operated gaming.
