BYO gambling spinner?

This is a kind of neat vintage arcade unit, anyone have any idea how these things work?  It might be a neat addition to the games room, and looks like it can't be too complex (I mean, I think he says it's from the 40's or something).  Anyone?

Heh... it's really kind of an adult version of Hungry Hungry Hippos, except with trapdoors instead of hippo heads.

How about a game-table sized version of Knip Knop?  :)

Hmm, I think there's more to it than that.  I was assuming that you would keep or discard the marbles to wind up with a better "hand" than your opponent.  

However, if it's much simpler than that, I think I'll make a Chexx version of rockem sockem robots instead. :)

Are you sure you didn't mean Gnip Gnop?

It's Ping Pong spelt backwards. Loved that game when I was a kid.

Yeah, that's it.  Loved that one, too... I think it's due for a comeback...
