I am going back over 50 years on a Gottlieb I remember playing when I was young.
This is what I think I remember.
Card Game Theme
I think it had a hole in the middle of the playfield with 3 little red circles above the hole. Each time you got 1/3 of the cards throughput the game, one of the red circles lit up. If you sunk the ball in the hole, you won a game for each of the lit lights. The cards were either diamonds or hearts.
