Kings of Steel

Kings of Steel is a notable addition to Bally's solid-state lineup of 1984, designed by Greg Kmiec with artwork by Doug Watson and software by Rehman Merchant. This historical-themed pinball machine combines medieval knight imagery with card-game motifs across its playfield and backglass.

The machine's design showcases three flippers, three pop bumpers, and a single slingshot, providing players with ample opportunities for high-scoring shots and thrilling gameplay moments. Notably, the game features ten standup targets, four mini-rollover buttons, and a 6-bank drop target that rewards precise aiming and timing. A left crossover return lane and right outlane detour gate add complexity to the playfield, challenging players to navigate the machine's layout effectively.

The artwork on Kings of Steel is characterized by its use of rich colors and ornate details, evoking a sense of medieval grandeur. With 2,900 units confirmed produced, Kings of Steel's blend of historical theme and card-game elements sets it apart from other pinball machines of the time, making it an attractive find for collectors and enthusiasts seeking something distinct in their collections.
