This Slot Machine Saving Bank  »BONANZA«  came from Reno / LakeTahoe in
Nevada / USA  and was made around 1970.  It has a  die-cast metal front
and a metal housing.  IT IS A TOY (!), but the inner mechanic is "real"
and works great:  When the (solid metal) handle is pulled, the 4 wheels
spin (also without a coin) and when a "Winning Pattern" (e.g. 7-7-7-7 )
occurs, the whole "JackPot" will be released.  If you need the money in
a hurry, you have to push the little button left of the acrylic window.
