About This Machine
The Bally Arcade is an electro-mechanical pinball machine from Bally (Model 250), notable for its Mechanical Backbox Animation and its Carnival - Shooting Gallery theme. Its exact release year is not confirmed in surviving records.
Gameplay on the Bally Arcade offers five balls for five cents, typical of early EM pricing. Twelve spring bumpers are spread across the playfield, giving players a lively, bumper-heavy layout to navigate as they aim for score.
The Bally Arcade's cabinet was advertised at 44 inches long by 22 inches wide, a compact size for its era. Specific details about its designer are not documented, but its animated backbox and carnival theme make it a distinctive entry among Bally's early EM output.
