[QUOTE="Matt McIrvin, post: 23202, member: 590"] Ah yes, the grand push for telegraph-enabled centralized bagatelle scoring during the U. S. Grant administration, culminating in the 1873 driving of the Golden Pin at Plunger Hill, Utah. Unfortunately, in the bagatelle dens that sprung up in gold-prospecting boomtowns of the Wild West it was common for cheats to bribe or threaten the key operators. There was a great demand for automated scoring, but the first claimed mechanism turned out to be a hoax run by the Crudup Gang, notorious leaderboard bandits of Virginia City, with a dwarf operator sitting in the base of the cabinet.
