Notes: The Add-a-ball version of this game is Williams' 1971 'Yukon'. The 4-player version of this game is Williams' 1971 'Jackpot'.

The flippers on 'Klondike' were placed a few inches below the slingshots, as was done five months previously on Williams' 1971 'Doodle Bug', but this time Williams closed the gaps by adding posts.

Reportedly, an unknown quantity of this game left the factory with the wiring incorrect on the right playfield score reel as compared to the schematic. Two wires were crossed which caused incorrect scoring on some score reel combinations.
