The replay version of this game is Williams' 1969 'Expo'.
This game is a two-player add-a-ball, allowing each player to earn more than one ball per ball in play but needing to play them all off before the game changes players. This can be seen on the reverse side of the backglass where the words EXTRA BALLS and some stars are silkscreened. Williams documentation does not indicate that this game is add-a-ball but one of Steve Kordek's many handwritten lists of games partially indicates this. We note that the backglass counts Ball In Play, not Balls To Play as typical of single-player add-a-ball games. The game in the Promotional Photo is priced for Italy at 50 lire and 100 lire but we did locate one of these games for sale in Wisconsin, a formerly add-a-ball State.
The backglass has no replay window and the playfield is missing several components that are found on 'Expo'. Namely, the upper right ball return gate and the right outlane ball return gate, both of which would affect the number of balls served to the shooter lane, and the center up-post which would interfere with the kick-up mechanism at the outhole.
