Round and Round
About This Machine
Round and Round, manufactured by Bally in 1936, is a single-player electro-mechanical (EM) machine (Model 83) from an early period in the company's history. It predates the invention of flippers by over a decade -- flippers were not introduced until 1947 -- so gameplay would have relied on a plunger-launched ball navigating bumpers and targets, with mechanical relays and switches registering the score.
Specific gameplay features on Round and Round are not well documented. The machine's simplicity is typical of early Bally EM output from this period.
Due to limited information and no notable features being specified, we can only speculate about Round and Round's visual design and theme; it may share similarities with other early Bally models from the same era. Its age and rarity suggest it would be a valuable piece for collectors seeking early examples of Bally's work.
