Double Shot
About This Machine
Double Shot was manufactured by Games, Incorporated of Chicago in February 1958. It is not a pinball machine but an "electronic upright," also known as a "flasher type" slot machine, which does not pay out cash — instead it increments a credit meter, allowing continued play without inserting more coins. It is a single-player game featuring Double and Triple scoring features along with a LIGHT-THE-NAME feature.
The machine was advertised as "brand new" in The Billboard on February 3, 1958. Starting with its May 1958 advertising, Games, Incorporated began billing itself as the "Originators of Electronic Upright Free Play Games," underscoring the company's role in popularizing this category of coin machine.
Its cabinet measured 66 inches high, 24 inches wide, and 20 inches deep. No specific theme, designer, or artwork details are documented for Double Shot, but it remains a notable entry in Games, Incorporated's line of electronic upright machines.
