Notes: | This game was intended to emulate the success of Gottlieb's 'Silver Slugger' which was a low-cost game with earnings that rivaled expensive Williams/Bally games like 'Diner'. Hence it has virtually no ramps, toys, or backbox animation. The original title was 'Poker Night' with a theme centering around a congregation of poker-playing, pizza-eating men. The playfield drawing of this original version is included in this listing. This was the last Bally game to have alphanumeric score displays. We had heard there was a second run of this game by this manufacturer. We asked Ken Fedesna, Executive VP/General Manager over Williams/Bally/Midway from 1988 until their close of pinball production in 1999, who checked his information and found no evidence of a second run. In searching, he came up with the following detailed information about this first run: 1) On 10/19/90 we released 15 prototypes to be built starting 11/15/90. In actuality, a second production run occurred in 1991 a few months after this first run ended and for which there seems to be no surviving manufacturer documentation. See Midway's 1991 'Harley-Davidson (2nd production run)'. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
