School Girl Reaper

School Girl Reaper is a rare, one-off electro-mechanical pinball machine from 2015 — a re-themed conversion of Bally's 1976 'Flip Flop,' with only a single unit known to exist. It gained some notoriety for appearing in a 2015 episode of the American TV series Limitless.

Gameplay retains the underlying EM machine's layout: four flippers, two pop bumpers, and two slingshots provide the core scoring opportunities. Eight mini-rollover buttons add an extra layer of strategy, while four standup targets and four flip flags offer additional scoring potential. Star rollovers and kick-out holes further complicate the gameplay experience, requiring precision and quick reflexes to navigate.

The machine's design and artwork are unmistakably horror-themed, fitting its new identity even though the underlying mechanics date back to the mid-1970s. Notably, School Girl Reaper features bounce-back outlanes, which allow players to nudge a draining ball back into play — an unusual feature that adds an element of unpredictability to gameplay. As a rare, single-unit re-themed EM machine with a brush of pop-culture fame, School Girl Reaper is a curious blend of old-school mechanics and a modern horror makeover.
