Roll-ette

The Roll-ette, manufactured by H.C. Evans & Company of Chicago in January 1936, is an electro-mechanical payout machine notable for supporting up to three players simultaneously via its three coin chutes -- IPDB classifies it as a payout device rather than a true pinball machine. The cabinet was advertised at 45 inches long and 20 inches wide.

Specific gameplay details are not well documented, but as a multi-player coin-operated payout machine of the mid-1930s, the Roll-ette would have used electro-mechanical relays and solenoids typical of the era to determine and register payouts.

While little is known about its designer or theme, the Roll-ette's simultaneous three-player format was a notable point of distinction among coin-operated machines of its time.
