Titled with no shame or subtlety, the “Circle of Pleasure” is a coin-op game that gave everyday folks a quick thrill for the cost of a penny. Drop in a cent, pull the golden lever, and watch your coin spiral its way down the brass track, teasing fate as it wobbles toward one of the slots labeled WIN or LOST. Land in “win” and you’d recover your coin—land in “lost” and, well, Bollands Amusement Machine Supply Co. pocketed the profit. Made in London (note the maker’s badge still fixed proudly to the top), this machine once sat in arcades or seaside piers, where the promise of easy amusement was irresistible. The bright red case with its weathered paint, the bold blue face, and the brass fittings all carry the patina of countless games played over decades.
