Quoted from CyberNinja24:Well it took a little while but I now have all four Skill games known to exist.
Skill Score and Skill Parade showed up last night. Both in nice working condition. I also have a skill roll and a novelty skill derby. I plan to upgrade to derby deluxe soon. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Nice collection. All you need now is a SkillShot. https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=5722
Quoted from AlexF:Yeah, but if you don't sell him yours where is he going to get one? Skill Roll is hard enough to find anymore.
There is at least one other one that I sold to a gentleman in Sweden. There must be more of them somewhere.
Quoted from CyberNinja24:Let me know if you’d ever sell the Skill Shot. Looks cool.
Everything has a price. 
Quoted from cait001:That's a redemption version of Skill Parade, not Skill Roll. Still kind of cool.
Someone on pinside has a modern solid-state version of Skill Roll, I saw in their gameroom pics...
Quoted from BlackCatBone:Has anyone ever seen a penny Skill-Roll? Here's an ad from the March 31, 1958 Billboard stating that the game can be set up for either nickel or penny play. I bet the game would be even tougher with the lighter coin. There is a huge digitized archive (1942 - 2011) of Billboard available here:

The last one I sold was set up for pennies.
Quoted from BlackCatBone:For those who have never seen HanaHo's 1998 remake of Bally's Skill-Roll, here's a link to it on Pinterest. HanaHo was a California company that made a few games. The company was founded by guys named Hana and Ho, thus the name. Anyone ever seen and played this game?

That's my game. I still have it. I'd let it go for the right offer if anyone is interested. I had two of them. Sold the other one to a guy in Sweden. Only two I have ever seen. https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=5722
Quoted from boagman:Do you know how many were made?
No idea.
