About This Machine

Chuck-A-Luck, manufactured by Game Plan, Incorporated in October 1978, is a solid-state electronic pinball machine designed by Ed Cebula with artwork by Paul Loreli. Notably, the game reuses playfields originally produced for Game Plan's 1978 title 'Real,' with factory-applied stickers covering the original artwork after the licensing deal for 'Real' reportedly fell through due to poor test marketing.

Gameplay includes 2 flippers, 2 pop bumpers, 2 slingshots, 5 rollover buttons, 3 kick-out holes, and 2 spinning targets, with a roulette wheel positioned in the center of the playfield offering a distinctive twist on typical pinball scoring.

Released as part of Game Plan's early solid-state lineup, Chuck-A-Luck stands out for its casino-inspired roulette theme and its unusual production history recycling playfields from a cancelled title.
