Roy Clark Super Picker

The Roy Clark Super Picker is a solid-state electronic pinball machine from Allied Leisure Industries of Hialeah, Florida, designed by Bob Betor. Manufactured sometime between 1972 and 1979, it brought celebrity culture to arcades with a theme centered on music, singing, and dancing. As one of the few pinball machines built around a country music star, it offers a distinct twist on the more common themes of the era.

Gameplay-wise, the Roy Clark Super Picker features two flippers, three pop bumpers, four solitary drop targets, three standup targets, and two slingshots, giving players varied ways to build their score. Rollover buttons and a pair of outlane detour gates that route the ball to the inlanes when open add further complexity. The backglass includes a distinctive LINE 'EM UP display window, where an illuminated dot chases to the right as the score increases, alongside a digital credit display and silkscreened ball-in-play numbers.

A 2-player version of the same game was also produced in 1977. The machine's theme centers on country music star Roy Clark, and its artwork reflects his stage presence. This rare solid-state pinball remains an intriguing find for enthusiasts of 1970s arcade culture.
