Curling

Curling, manufactured in 1965 by Rally (Rally Play Company) of Nice, France, is a two-player electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine themed around the sport of curling — an unusual and specific choice compared to more common sports themes of the era. It features two flippers, three pop bumpers, and a captive ball with a kick-out hole positioned inside the captive-ball lane.

The captive ball and kick-out hole combination adds an element of shot-making challenge, requiring players to work the ball through a constrained lane rather than relying purely on open-field shots.

Detailed information about Curling's design and artwork is scarce, but its unusual theme and French origin make it a notable curiosity for collectors and historians of 1960s European EM pinball.
