The left outlane either scores 50 points or, when lit, kicks the ball back into play. The kicker lights whenever either bonus ladder is on 90, 130, or 150 (fixed values). A ball landing in the kick-out hole when either ladder is at 200 will award 1, 2, or 3 added balls (operator option) in addition to the points. The ladder values carry-over from ball to ball, from player to player, and from game to game until earned. Maximum displayed point score is 9,999 points per player. Sound: 1 bell, knocker.
Historical Notes
The production run quantity of this Add-a-ball version is likely included in the quantity shown for the USA replay version Bally's 1966 'Loop the Loop'. Compared to that version, the left outlane has a kickback when lit, instead of a replay Special. The outlane rollover for this kickback was placed further down in the space allotted for it, closer to the kickback mechanism, than the rollover for the replay version. The backglass has no replay window. The silkscreened numbers 0-9 that would be the match numbers on a replay game are instead used to count the added balls. Hence, the 0 number is not required and, although the backbox insert has a lamp socket in this 0 position, no wire was soldered to it. This game apparently was not exclusively for export to Italy, because the game pictured here with serial number 'LL 1660' is located in the USA and has a metal coin entrance plate marked 10¢. The flippers are imprinted with the word FLIPPER, a word that was not allowed on games in Italy.
