Full House

"Full House," designed by Norm Clark and manufactured by Williams in March 1966, is a fine example of the electromechanical (EM) pinball machines of its era. Its card-themed gameplay, set against the backdrop of the American West, offers a distinctive blend of chance and strategy, and the game saw a healthy confirmed production run of 2,900 units.

The machine's key features include two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, and seven standup targets, all working in conjunction with a 3-reel drum unit mounted right on the playfield. This mechanical complexity is characteristic of EM pinball's heyday, when intricate mechanisms and clever design created immersive gameplay experiences. "Full House" also boasts a notable backglass marquee and drop-down cabinet, adding to its visually striking appearance.

For collectors, there is a nice piece of trivia attached: Williams also produced an add-a-ball version of this same game in 1966 under the title 'Top Hand.' With its gambling-hall theme and satisfying mechanical scoring, "Full House" remains an intriguing piece for collectors and historians of 1960s Williams pinball.
