Special Entry 1948

The Special Entry 1948 backglass is attributed to Bally Manufacturing Corporation and carries a 1948 date, though very little is documented about this game. It is not the same glass as Bally's 1947 'Special Entry,' and it closely resembles the glasses from Bally's 1947 'Jockey Club' and 'Jockey Special,' leading researchers to suspect it may follow, or even be a modification of, one of those earlier games.

Because almost nothing beyond the backglass imagery survives, it is uncertain whether Special Entry 1948 was a complete, standalone game or simply a modified glass used on one of those other Bally horse-racing titles. Its specialty is classified as a horse-racing game, fitting Bally's tradition of sports and racing themed single-player electro-mechanical machines from this period.

Given the sparse documentation, no confirmed details exist about its playfield layout, scoring rules, or specific mechanical features. Special Entry 1948 remains largely a historical curiosity known primarily through its backglass artwork rather than any verified complete game.
