Jockey Club

Jockey Club, designed by Wayne Neyens with artwork by Roy Parker, was manufactured by Gottlieb in April 1954. This single-player electro-mechanical game carries a horse racing theme, and 1,150 units were produced, a solid run for a mid-1950s Gottlieb.

The machine boasts an impressive array of features: four flippers, four pop bumpers, seven passive bumpers, two slingshots, five gobble holes, five standup targets, and two rollover buttons. Its sound package of three bells and a knocker adds period charm. One notable option is the ability to double all replay awards by inserting two coins at the start of a game, a feature implemented via two step-up coils on the replay unit.

Jockey Club's design and art are quintessential examples of 1950s Gottlieb aesthetics, with Roy Parker's vibrant, whimsical illustrations bringing the racetrack theme to life. Its combination of gobble holes, a generous complement of flippers, and the coin-doubling replay feature makes it an appealing find for collectors of wedgehead-era Gottlieb games.
