Playboy (Bally)

In 1978, Bally Manufacturing Co. released the first Playboy pinball machine. According to Pinside, this particular pinball has a production run of 18.250, making it the #4 most successful Flipper-Game of all time.

The start-up and bonus score countdown music for the Playboy pinball machine is similar to the “Playboy’s Theme” from the 1969 “Playboy After Dark” television show.

This game’s artwork was created by Paul Faris and the backglass features an illustration of Hugh Hefner with Playmates Patti McGuire and Sondra Theodore.
