Shuffle-King Re-bound

The Shuffle-King Re-bound, manufactured by Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company in November 1948, is not actually a pinball machine but a shuffle board game (Model 121). It represents Chicago Coin's output during the early post-war boom in coin-operated amusements.

Priced at 10 cents per game, the Shuffle-King Re-bound used red and yellow pucks to allow two players to compete simultaneously on a single coin play, an efficient design for operators looking to maximize revenue from shared play. The backglass displays the game as "Shuffle-King Re-bound," though Chicago Coin's own documentation had previously listed the Model 121 simply as "Rebound."

With 1,451 confirmed units produced, the Shuffle-King Re-bound is a piece of shuffle-board history rather than pinball history, illustrating how Chicago Coin diversified across coin-operated amusement categories in the late 1940s.
