Tycooon

Tycoon is a single-player electro-mechanical pin game from the Mills Novelty Company, dated 1936. A flipperless machine of the mid-1930s, it came from the same Mills catalog as the company's other coin-operated amusements of the period and used a lit backglass to display scoring.

Mills Novelty was a leading Chicago maker of slot machines and coin-operated games, and its 1936 output reflects the Depression-era blend of amusement and gambling that defined the trade before flippers and the postwar arcade era.
