Automatic Poker Das
About This Machine
Automatic Poker Das is a Pure Mechanical (PM) tabletop/counter game of unknown manufacturer, origin, and production period, built around a playing-card and poker theme. Its most distinctive characteristic is a "Figure 8" playfield layout, an uncommon configuration in which the ball's path loops back on itself, adding an unusual routing challenge compared to more conventional layouts.
As a small tabletop/counter game rather than a full cabinet pinball machine, Automatic Poker Das likely relied on gravity, tilt, and simple mechanical obstacles rather than flippers to guide the ball through its figure-8 path, consistent with other mechanical counter games of its type.
With no confirmed manufacturer, date, or artist, Automatic Poker Das remains a poorly documented but intriguing example of early mechanical, card-themed amusement devices.
