About This Machine

Despite being listed here, All The Way is not actually a pinball machine - it is a rebound shuffleboard manufactured by Bally, first shipped in October 1964. Players use a puck rather than pinballs, sliding it down the playing surface to score, with two players competing.

The backglass carries a circus/carnival theme and depicts "8 balls per player," even though gameplay actually involves a puck rather than balls - likely a stylistic choice tying it visually to Bally's pinball line. Three mechanical backbox animations add visual flair as the game is played.

Model number 748, All The Way illustrates how Bally diversified into alternative amusement formats alongside its traditional pinball output during the 1960s, making it an interesting curiosity for collectors interested in the broader history of coin-operated amusements rather than pinball specifically.
