The Circus Tiger

The Circus Tiger is an electro-mechanical, single-player Add-A-Ball machine built as a copy of Gottlieb's 1975 game 'Tiger,' with its own manufacturer otherwise unrecorded. Rather than an original design, it follows the layout and mechanics established by the Gottlieb original, adapted for its circus theme.

Gameplay includes two flippers, three pop bumpers, a slingshot, two star rollovers, three standup targets, a vari-target, and a spinning target, along with an upper-right return ball rollunder and an end-of-ball bonus. Three chimes provide the game's sound effects, typical of EM-era machines of this style.

With its circus theme and varied target layout, Circus Tiger offers an engaging example of the many Gottlieb-derived Add-A-Ball machines produced during the 1970s, even though its own manufacturer remains unidentified.
