Punchboards used for gambling in California in the 1910s were a game "where the player puys for the privilege of inserting a disk in a covered hole on a board and punches out a number, which, if it corresponds to a certain number on the board, a prize is awarded the player."
From the outside in, the sequence is $100–$500–$1,000–$0, with the middle space worth $10,000.
