Total Roll

Total Roll, manufactured by the Genco Manufacturing Company of Chicago, is a single-player electro-mechanical rolldown game with production starting October 30, 1945 and running through December 21, 1946, with 4,518 confirmed units produced. It was designed by Harvey Heiss and carried a list price of $525.00 according to Coin Machine Digest's October 1946 issue.

As a rolldown game, Total Roll predates the invention of the flipper (introduced in 1947) and instead relies on skillful angling and timing to guide the ball down the playfield into scoring lanes or pockets, a format popular with operators in the mid-1940s for its straightforward, fast-paced play.

Little detailed information survives about the machine's specific theme or artwork, but its confirmed production run of over 4,500 units indicates it was a commercially successful release for Genco in the immediate post-war period, and it remains a notable example of designer Harvey Heiss's work in the rolldown genre.
