Blue Grass

The Blue Grass pinball machine, manufactured by Bally in 1941, is a single-player electro-mechanical horserace game. Horse racing was a hugely popular theme among coin machine makers of the era, and Bally in particular built a long line of racing-themed games; Blue Grass is the replay version of Bally's 1941 one-ball payout game 'Kentucky'.

The gameplay features of Blue Grass are straightforward yet engaging. The machine could be set for either 1-ball or 5-ball play, and it includes a skill lane, a common feature during this period.

Unfortunately, not much information is known about the specific design or art of the Blue Grass. As an example of Bally's prewar horserace games, however, it remains an interesting piece for collectors and historians tracing the development of this distinctive branch of the coin machine industry.
