About This Machine

Le King is a solid-state electronic pinball machine manufactured by Jeutel of France, produced in 1983 as part of the company's 1981–1986 run. Only 500 units are confirmed to have been produced, making it a genuinely rare, lesser-discussed piece of French pinball history featuring a truck-driving theme.

The gameplay features on Le King are typical of early-1980s European solid-state machines: two flippers, two pop bumpers, three slingshots, three standup targets, two kick-out holes, a 4-bank drop target, and a spinning target, along with alphanumeric displays that provide feedback on player progress.

Its truck-driving theme and playfield give it a distinctive flavor within the arcade-games genre of pinball. With no designer credited and limited surviving documentation, Le King remains something of a mystery, but its confirmed low production run of 500 units makes it an appealing find for collectors interested in rare European machines.
