Catalogue Note

First produced in 1949, during the 1950s and early 1960s, the Jennings Sun Chief was the primary type of machine used in casinos. Jennings made a number of sub-models of the Sun Chief and would install different color light panels on the lower front as well. These panels would come in red, green, orange, clear and blue.
