Bally Derby

The Bally Derby (Model 60) is a single-player, horse-racing-themed electro-mechanical pinball machine from Bally Manufacturing Corporation. Bally documentation indicates a release-to-production date of November 30, 1935, though it is not confirmed whether this particular model was ever actually produced — the following month, a follow-up version, also called Bally Derby (Model 66), was released to production.

Because detailed records for this specific model are scarce, little is documented about its gameplay features, artwork, or design credits. Its horse-racing theme places it among the wave of sports-themed pinball and payout machines popular in the mid-1930s.

Given the uncertainty around its production, the Bally Derby (Model 60) is best understood as a documented but poorly recorded entry in Bally's early lineup, of interest primarily to historians tracing the company's early horse-racing-themed releases.
