Multiplay

The Multiplay, manufactured by Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company and issued July 10, 1936, is a single-player electro-mechanical (EM) payout machine, with 296 units confirmed produced. As an EM payout game from relatively early in Chicago Coin's history, it reflects the period when many pinball manufacturers were still transitioning away from purely mechanical designs toward electrically powered scoring and play mechanisms.

Specific details of its playfield layout, rules, and features have not survived in the historical record, which is common for payout machines of this era; such games were often short-lived and less documented than replay machines aimed at a broader consumer market.

As one of Chicago Coin's early EM payout titles, Multiplay is a useful data point for historians tracing the company's transition into electro-mechanical technology during the mid-1930s, even though little can be said with confidence about its specific gameplay.
