description:  A five cent slot machine with a large brass Indian head, and an outdoors/wildlife scene.  This model is a reddish/maroon color.

information:  Originally this style slot machine came out as the Improved Chief, but rapid improvements in just five months led to the creation of this machine, the "Four Star Chief."  The original Chief only had a single star at the top of the machine, and was called "Hunting Chief."  It also had two smaller coin windows on either side of the large center coin window.
