Cherry Parade

Cherry Parade is an electro-mechanical 'upright' payout device — a 'flasher type' slot machine — made by Games, Incorporated of Chicago, rather than a pinball machine. According to a UK owner, it was converted from the company's earlier 'King Tap' upright when British currency switched to a decimal system in 1971.

The game offered 5 plays for 10 pence and featured a glass backglass, along with Games Incorporated's own equivalent of Keeney's Panascope feature.

No other documentation of Cherry Parade has been found, and its exact production date and designer remain unknown. As an example of an upright converted for currency decimalization, it offers an interesting glimpse into how coin-operated equipment was adapted for changing markets in the early 1970s.
