Reportedly, the whitewood for this game and "15 or so prototypes" each had a gopher that would pop out of the playfield but this feature was removed (from production games) for cost savings reasons. If true, we question if a high quantity of 15 prototypes would have been built and perhaps they actually were Early Production games. The prototype playfield shown here does not have this pop-up feature.

"The PIN everyone will GO fer."
"From hackers to seasoned pros, this game scores big!"
