Touchdown

Touchdown, designed by Don Hooker for Bally Manufacturing Corporation, is a bingo-style electro-mechanical pinball machine with a football theme. Its exact release date is not documented, but its features are consistent with Bally's line of five-ball bingo machines.

The game plays five balls for five cents, using trap holes (25) and rollover buttons (2) rather than flippers. A distinguishing feature is the "Magic Squares, Spot 16" option, which lets players press buttons to rearrange numbers on a card displayed in the backglass - available as a purchasable feature before the 4th ball, before the 5th ball, or after the 5th ball is shot. This layered, optional feature set was typical of Bally's bingo machines of the era.

While detailed production history and artwork credits are not well documented for this machine, its bingo-style mechanics and football theme make it a distinctive example of Bally's mid-century output, appealing to collectors interested in the company's bingo-pinball hybrid machines.
