High Score Rollett
About This Machine
The High Score Rollett is a rare and enigmatic pure mechanical bagatelle that has piqued the interest of collectors and historians alike. Believed to date from the early 1930s, this game offers a glimpse into pinball's mechanical predecessors. Unfortunately, its manufacturer and designer remain unknown, leaving much about its origins a mystery.
Measuring 26 inches long and 14 inches wide, the board is compact yet reflects the bagatelle style of play common before pinball's electromechanical era: balls are launched onto an inclined board and score by settling into numbered pockets, with no flippers or other player-controlled mechanisms involved.
Regrettably, there is little to say about the game's theme or artwork, as these aspects are currently unknown. However, its very existence highlights the ingenuity that went into crafting early amusement games. For collectors and enthusiasts seeking out rare examples of mechanical gaming's evolution, the High Score Rollett is a tantalizing discovery waiting to be uncovered.
