Lady Luck

Lady Luck is an electro-mechanical, two-player pinball machine from Williams Electronics, released in March 1968 and designed by Norm Clark with artwork by Louis Raynaud. Its blackjack and gambling theme fits the playing-card motif popular across pinball of this period.

Lady Luck offers a fast-paced, feature-rich layout for its time: two flippers, four pop bumpers, two slingshots, four rollover buttons, two kick-out holes, and a standup target. A standout element is its "action ring" -- described on the manufacturer's flyer as a "trap bumper for exciting action" -- in which one pop bumper is enclosed within a ring of bumpers for fast scoring. The game also includes a right outlane ball-return gate and can display up to 9999 points per player.

With a confirmed production run of 3,202 units, Lady Luck was a fairly widely distributed Williams title, and its playing-card artwork and bumper-ring gimmick make it a notable example of late-1960s EM design.
