Entry

The 1941 'Entry' pinball machine by Bally Manufacturing Corporation is a single-player, flipperless electro-mechanical game with an auto racing theme, released during pinball's pre-flipper era. Contemporary distributor ads from 1941 confirm it as a 5-ball, free-play game, though no ads from Bally itself have been found describing it in detail.

As a flipperless game typical of its time, Entry would have relied on gravity and skillful nudging rather than player-controlled flippers, with players getting five balls per play. Its auto racing theme places it among the sports-themed pinball games of the early 1940s.

No designer credit or detailed feature list survives for Entry, and it remains a lightly documented piece of early Bally history, known today mainly through period distributor advertisements rather than manufacturer records.
