1937 Daily Races

The 1937 Daily Races is a rare and historic payout pinball machine manufactured by D. Gottlieb & Company in November 1936. As an early electromechanical (EM) machine, it represents part of the industry's shift away from purely mechanical pinball devices toward machines using electrical components such as switches, relays, and solenoids to control scoring and payout.

One of the most intriguing aspects of this machine is its relatively simple design, typical of the payout machines of its era, which rewarded players with coins or tokens rather than free replays. Without a specific theme or additional notable features recorded, it's likely that players experienced a straightforward, basic gameplay experience. The lack of documentation on its key gameplay features means that enthusiasts will need to rely on hands-on experimentation and observation to discover its secrets.

The scarcity of this machine and limited information available about it only add to its allure among collectors and historians. As a single-player payout game from the early years of Gottlieb's history, it offers a tangible link to the early days of the pinball industry.
