Ritz

The Ritz, manufactured by Stoner Manufacturing Company in October 1938, is a single-player electromechanical pinball machine from the pre-flipper era.

Ritz features an 11-trap-hole design, a common characteristic of late-1930s EM games, where players aimed for specific targets to drain the ball into trap holes while navigating the playfield's obstacles. The inclusion of a time clock adds an additional layer to gameplay, requiring players to manage timing to maximize their outcomes.

Limited information is available about the Ritz's specific art, theme, or designer, as is common for machines of this era. Nonetheless, it offers a glimpse into the design conventions of late-1930s flipperless pinball.
