The game was pretty basic: you sat at the end of a table
and rolled a racquetball-type ball over a small bump. The ball
would bounce around a bit over top of 24 holes. When the ball
dropped into a hole, the corresponding light on the wall at the
end of the table would light. The wall was a 5x5 grid, with the
center light always lit as a freebee. The ball would then return
and you'd continue rolling. In a normal game, the goal was
connecting five lights vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
The first person in the 'casino' to do so would be the winner and
get points towards a prize. There were bonus points for certain
rows or columns based on difficulty. There were some variations of
the game, one being "Cover-all," where the winner was
the first to light up each spot on the board. There was one in the
Casino as well - closing in the 70's or was it Pokerino? Today,
you can find the game of Fascination in Wildwood, New
Jersey. |
