Gypsy Queen
About This Machine
Gypsy Queen, designed by Wayne Neyens and manufactured by Gottlieb in February 1955, is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine with a cards and gambling theme. Carrying model number 100, it had a confirmed production run of 1,400 units and features backglass and playfield artwork by Roy Parker, the artist behind many of Gottlieb's most beloved 1950s games.
The playfield is a classic mid-1950s Gottlieb layout: two flippers, three pop bumpers, and two gobble holes — the high-risk, high-reward holes that swallow the ball in exchange for a big score, forcing players to weigh points against ball time.
As a product of the Neyens-Parker partnership at the height of Gottlieb's 1950s output, Gypsy Queen is a representative and collectible example of the era's card-themed games.
