Sportsman Roll

The Sportsman Roll is a single-player electro-mechanical (EM) rolldown game manufactured by Square Amusement Co. of New York in March 1947. It combines a sports theme with hunting imagery, an unusual pairing that sets it apart from many contemporaries.

Key gameplay features include seven balls per game and an unusually high maximum displayed score of 790,000 points. As a rolldown game rather than a flipper pinball, its skill-based mechanics would have offered a straightforward but engaging play experience typical of the format in the late 1940s.

Design and artwork details on the Sportsman Roll are scarce beyond its theme and scoring specifications. No information about its designer is available.
