5 Star

5 Star is a single player pinball machine from May 1951, manufactured by Universal. It featured 5 balls for 5 cents and had gobble holes (12), Kick-out hole (1). Player inserts one coin to play one card, and can insert up to five coins for five cards. Each of eleven numbered holes on the playfield delivers the ball to a lane under the playfield. Each lane when scored puts out its numbered light on the playfield, lights the same number on the backglass, and advances the ball count on the backglass. The center star hole lights all stars on the (purchased) backglass bingo cards. There is no outhole. The bottom saucer is a kick-out hole directing the balls back into play until they fall into a hole.
