Anyone remember these arcade machines?

[TheMatrix31]

Need some help guys. Looking for these arcade machines they used to have way back when. You would put money in, get a few blue racquetballs, and roll them down a ramp in hopes to get them in specific holes that are on the other end of the ramp (towards the big screen of the machine), or into specific rows denoting a specific something. Some of the machines would be playing card oriented, and you'd have to get the balls in specific holes to match card suits, numbers, etc.

I really can't offer more info than this, but I'm struggling to find the name or more info about them. Don't ask how they popped into my mind, I just remember loving them.

I remember in the sense I know what you're talking about but don't remember the name. It's not skeeball. Pretty sure they had a competitive horse racing one at the fair.

They still have this in the arcade at the coast here in Oregon and Ive been addicted to it since I was a kid. I literally go out of my way to play this game anytime Im anywhere near Seaside, Oregon.

Nah, not Skeeball.

Chef, thats like, the "basis" of what I'm talking about.

Not exactly the same, there's no guy presiding over it, but I think one of the variations was bingo. There was the one with the holes and then there is the one where you have to roll the ball into certain rows.

Interesting, thanks!
