The 1956 Genco Lucky Seven is actually a roll down game. Meaning the player is given some 3" balls, and they must roll them down the playfield into scoring holes. The game tells you what score range to hit for the most points. The player rolls two balls per frame, trying to get either under seven or over seven. This gets the points earned plus big bonus points. Hitting seven exactly always earns the most points. But the unique thing about this game is the "flipper". It's actually a mechanical bar that the player controls to influence which hole the ball rolls. We've never seen another rolldown game with this feature.
