Another in the series of seaside arcade coin operated machines.
Tip-Em-Off was a very simple idea. Pennies entered the game through one of the seven slots at the top and tumbled down a series of pins until they either reached the bottom of the box, which returned to the player, or fell to the side behind the platforms, which led to the arcade owner's money bank, or came to rest on one of the spring-loaded platforms. Once enough coins had landed on a platform the weight caused the platform to tip and the coins fell down to reward the player. The coins sometimes caused lower platforms to tip too. As with all arcade machines, it was the arcade owner who won in the end as a successful win only spurred the player to try again until all coins were gone!
