Drinking gaming machine with Neptune riding as a winemaker on a turtle. The drinking game automat is a highlight of the entertainment technology of the German Late Renaissance. The Duke of Württemberg gave away the unique art chamber piece 1631 to a wedding. It was much more than just toys for reviving the convivial surrounding. This miracle of mechanics drove on hidden wheels over the table top and automatically came to a standstill on the edge of the blackboard.
