    Default 1960's Kronespill game from Norway

    This continues the slightly off-topic trend of the recent, excellent Allwin post. Please move or delete this post if it is inappropriate,

    Norway and Finland took a somewhat different approach to their vertical games. They used coins as projectiles instead of balls.

    While on a family vacation in 1966, I saw this game at the Sognefjord ferry. For forty years, the snapshot was my only information about the game. Recently the Internet helped me discover more about it.

    The game originated in Germany, but was perfected in Finland as Pajatso or Payazzo. The popular game was exported to Norway, where they called it Kronespill. Soon Norway began making their own variations. Both countries operated the games exclusively to support charities.

    Game play was baffling to me in 1966, but now I understand it.

    A player flicks a coin onto the play field, where it will bounce around and may drop into a gate. The gates direct coins into empty columns, where they trip latches to release coins from adjacent columns of stacked coins.

    Of course, most coins fall past the gates, roll down ramps, and drop into open columns to be rewarded later. Overflow coins fall into a coin box inside.

    I posted a longer explanation at Kronespill: Norway's Flick-a-Coin Game | Pinball Clicks

    A huge photo gallery of Kronespill and Payzzo games is at Bildegalleri av forskjellige knipsekasser

    Maybe we need a new forum for all things not related to Pachinko and Pachislo. I see a growing trend here as we expand our horizon.
