I did a little research on Fascination, Joe, and according to Wikipedia, that's the name of the game that was played in arcades and amusement parlors around the country. The one near Times Square in NYC was open until 1981. A historic chip!
There were 11 locations in operation when the article was last updated (2012), including one in Seaside Oregon not far from me. Interestingly, at one time the game was also operated at Circus Circus in Las Vegas!
Here's a link to the wiki:
