Missouri Mules
About This Machine
Missouri Mules, manufactured by Bally Manufacturing Corporation in 1947, is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine from Bally's mid-1940s lineup. Little detailed documentation survives for this particular title.
The gameplay features and unique elements of Missouri Mules are largely undocumented. Like other EM machines of the period, it would have relied on relays, switches, and other electromechanical components to create game logic and sound effects.
Specific details about the machine's design, art, or designer are not available in current records. Nonetheless, its 1947 origin and connection to Bally, one of the era's major manufacturers, contribute to its interest among pinball enthusiasts and historians researching the postwar development of the game.
