Flip a Card

Description

This is a flat deck March 1970 pinball machine. The object of the game is to hit all of the targets (each represents a different card - ace through king). Once all targets have been hit, the game enters the "special" mode where upon hitting certain targets, you are awarded a free game.

The main feature of the game is the "spin" function, where you drop the ball into a hole in the middle of the deck, you are awarded one of the cards, then the ball is flicked back out of the hole.
