1976 Gottlieb CARD WHIZ (Royal Flush) pinball machine

[@MartinDee2000]

I love old games with a simple clear-cut goal.

This was the 1st pinball machine I ever played back in 1980 :)

Fun old EM. I remember playing this one in the 1970's...

Great game - one of my faves - you play it well

Super Maschine

[@quiteshy]

Do you have hit the targets in a particular order? I noticed that after all of the targets had been knocked down, they didn't reset.

[@londonpinball]

The targets to not reset until the ball drains. This was common on Gottlieb drop target games of the era. Target Alpha, High Hand and others are the same.

Thank you for your response. I am looking for an EM machine with a card theme. I'm not sure who made it though I remember there were no fences at the sides of the machine. If you tried to trap the ball with the flipper, you often lost it.

[@londonpinball]

That sounds similar to the flipper set-up on Doodle Bug, but that's a Williams machine and not a card theme.

[@quiteshy]

The Doodle Bug machine is worse. The machine I'm thinking of is the same as Royal Flush except that it had no side rail to hold the ball when it went down the side. However, you could get the ball to jump over to the flipper rail if you pushed the machine at the right moment.

I think the one on the right at the end was broken because no bell went off when he hit it. The machine thinks that there is one left to go down before it resets them.
