Jungle Queen

The Jungle Queen, designed by Ed Krynski and manufactured by Gottlieb in July 1977, is a notable example of late-era electro-mechanical (EM) pinball, arriving as Gottlieb's catalog was nearing its transition to solid-state technology (which began the following year).

Key to the Jungle Queen's gameplay experience are its four flippers, three pop bumpers, and two sets of 5-bank drop targets, which offer a variety of challenging shots and combinations. The addition of kick-out holes adds an element of unpredictability, while the end-of-ball bonus rewards players for their persistence. With the option to play with either three or five balls, this machine offers multiple levels of difficulty and replay value.

The Jungle Queen's fantasy theme is reflected in its artwork by Gordon Morison, which features a regal queen surrounded by lush jungle foliage. The machine weighs a substantial 293 pounds including legs. With a maximum displayed point score of 199,990 points and 7,140 confirmed units produced, this machine challenges even the most skilled players to achieve high scores and conquer its challenging gameplay.
