About This Machine

The Yukon pinball machine, manufactured by Williams in 1957, is a bingo-style machine designed by Harry Williams, the company's founder and one of pinball's most prolific early designers. By 1957, Williams had already been designing games for decades, and Yukon represents a mature example of the bingo-style electro-mechanical machines that were popular through the 1950s.

Yukon's gameplay centers on 25 trap holes spread across the playfield, a hallmark of bingo-style pinball, where players aim to land the ball in specific holes to build winning card combinations rather than relying on flipper-driven play.

The machine carries a Playing Cards theme and stands on metal legs. Little else is documented about Yukon beyond its basic specifications, but as a design credited to Harry Williams himself, it remains a noteworthy piece of the bingo-machine era of pinball history.
