Dennis Lillee's Howzat!
About This Machine
Dennis Lillee is a rare and intriguing addition to any pinball collection, named for the famous Australian cricket player of the 1970s and early 1980s. Manufactured by A. Hankin & Company between 1978 and 1981 under the trade name Hankin, this solid-state electronic widebody game brings the thrill of cricket to the table, with only 350 confirmed units produced.
Gameplay features four flippers, four pop bumpers, two slingshots, and a variety of targets including five-bank drop targets, four-bank drop targets, stand-up targets, roll-under spinners, and a kick-out hole. The machine's cricket theme, including the classic 'Howzat' appeal used by fielding teams, sets it apart from typical pinball fare of the era.
The art and theme of Dennis Lillee pay homage to the legendary Australian cricketer after whom it is named. As an Australian-made pinball machine from a manufacturer with a limited production run, Dennis Lillee is a notable find for collectors and enthusiasts interested in regional pinball history.
