This Bally Reliance Dice actually plays the game of craps. After depositing 5 cent the player pulls the handle. The dice appear to shake and are tossed out in the left window if the roll is a 7 or 11 the player is a winner and if 2, 3 or 12 come up the player is a looser. Any other number that is rolled is called the point. The player then pulls the handle again and this time the dice comes out the right window. The player continues pulling the handle until the point is made or a 7 is rolled and the playes craps out. If 4 consecutive 7's or 11's are rolled the player wins the jackpot and a golden award token comes out and is redeemed for a $25 jackpot.
The Bally Reliance Crap machines were only made for few years 1935 to 1937 and to have one with it original tokens is extremely rare. If you are a serious collector you would be hard pressed to find a machine this pristine. It is truly a top quality peace.
