Twin Win playfield

Playfield

  • red
  • white
  • blue
  • yellow

Fingerprint: Bally electro-mechanical, giant cursive Bally script on yellow apron, two racing cars facing across small red mushroom, black speaker grille with checkered collar center, chrome eagle spreading wings, patriotic stars-and-stripes bunting, racing carnival motif

Distinctive

The single most memorable feature is the giant red cursive script logo on the yellow apron, sitting under a wall of blue stars and a giant black-and-white checkered flag. Above it, two toy racing cars - a yellow number 1 and a green number 2 - face each other across a small red GAME OVER mushroom. A big black circular speaker grille ringed with a black-and-white checkered collar dominates the centre of the field, with a chrome eagle spreading its wings over the top star arch. Layered fans of red-white-and-blue bunting drape across the upper playfield, and the whole board is a patriotic stars-and-stripes racing carnival rather than a literal scene.

Full description

A wood-grain electro-mechanical playfield under glass, framed by a stainless steel rim. The whole field is dominated by a red, white and blue stars-and-stripes racing motif: a blue arch of white stars curves across the top, capped by a chrome eagle, and American flag bunting hangs on wires across the upper playfield. The top arch carries five lanes marked 300 and 600 with a row of round lane guides, and below it a yellow arrow banner reads LIT TARGETS ADVANCE CARS & ADVANCE BONUS 5000. A large black circular grille with a checkered-flag collar sits dead centre, flanked by two fan-shaped panels reading SPECIAL WHEN LIT and COLLECT BONUS with score ladders of 3000 to 8000. Two round pop bumpers below the grille carry 100 POINTS and ADVANCE BONUS 1000 discs, one ringed red, one yellow. Blue teardrop pods on both sides read SUPER FLIPPER, and red-and-white starbursts read ADVANCE 3 and GAME OVER SMOKE. Lower down, a green S-shaped lane outlined in red contains a START flag. Two squat racing cars, one yellow marked 1 and one green marked 2, flank a red GAME OVER. The apron shows a huge red cursive logo reading Bally over MANUFACTURING CORP. CHICAGO, ILL. 60618, blue stars, a checkered flag, PLAYER BUTTON arrows at both corners, a PANORAMA window reading TILT / ENDS BALL, and a white card reading 5 BALLS / 25c.
