The Great Minnesota Pull-Tabs 🎰 Library

The uniquely idiotic paper gambling game found in most midwest watering holes. Think of it as a manual slot machine made out of two-ply paper with perforated tabs revealing winning/losing iconography.

The spilt beer stink of a dive bar, a glass of perspiring alcohol nestled against a plate of piping-hot tater tots, a plastic green discard basket, and a stack of un-ripped pull-tabs: 100% the vibe.

› Here’s my personal library of pull-tabs – an ode to whimsical designs, delightful puns, and the quest to win hard and lose gracefully.
