Skeet Shoot

Skeet Shoot was produced by Games, Incorporated of Chicago, Illinois, with the earliest trade references appearing in October 1956. Despite its electro-mechanical construction, it is explicitly not a pinball machine: it is an 'electronic upright,' sometimes called a 'flasher type' slot machine, that does not pay out cash -- wins instead increment a credit meter, allowing continued play without inserting additional coins.

The machine carries a sports theme built around skeet and trap shooting / target practice, and includes a 'Lite-A-Name' feature that lets players illuminate their name on a scoreboard-style display. Its cabinet was advertised at a substantial 66 inches high, 24 inches wide, and 17 inches deep.

Little further documentation survives about Skeet Shoot's specific mechanics or commercial reception, but it represents an interesting example of the many electro-mechanical amusement devices -- distinct from true pinball -- that coin-op manufacturers produced during the mid-1950s.
