About This Machine

The Lexington, manufactured by Bally in October 1948, is a single-player, one-ball horse-racing payout machine designed by Don Hooker. It is a coin-payout version of Bally's 1948 game Citation, released and put into full production alongside it.

Gameplay centers on 31 trap holes, with an optional skill lane for jurisdictions permitting five-ball play. This blend of trap-hole scoring and configurable play options was characteristic of Bally's late-1940s horse-racing themed machines.

The Lexington's artwork and cabinet reflect its Sports - Horse Racing theme. Detailed information about its production run or notable ownership is scarce, but as a sibling release to Citation, it remains a distinctive piece of Bally's post-war payout machine lineup.
