Island Queens
About This Machine
Island Queens is an electro-mechanical pinball machine (Model 651-B) from Bally Manufacturing Corporation. Its production year is not documented, but IPDB notes a related two-ball version, Model 651-A, released as Bally's 1960 'Island Queens,' suggesting a similar era for this one.
Notably, Island Queens is a Flipperless single-player game played over five balls — meaning scoring depends on where the ball naturally falls and rolls rather than on flipper-controlled shots, a design common to many Bally games of that period before flippers became standard. The schematic wiring part number on file is W-921-25d.
Beyond these details, little else is documented about Island Queens' theme, artwork, or rules. As one of many lesser-known Bally machines from the mid-20th century, it remains a minor but historically interesting example of pre-flipper pinball design.
