Sluggin' Champ

Gottlieb announced this game in Billboard as being manufactured in the new deluxe cabinet. The deluxe cabinet has a larger lockdown bar on a shelf that extends beyond the front of the cabinet. Its legs are mounted on the side of the cabinet at an angle, instead of vertically at the corners. The backbox and backglass are wider than the standard 1-player backbox. This cabinet and backbox was used more often for Gottieb's multiple-player games during the 1950's. This game was also made in the standard cabinet. Gottlieb produced a flyer for each of the two cabinet styles. We do not know what quantities were made of each style as a portion of the Production Run quantity shown in this listing. Both styles were listed in Billboard as having a manufacture date of 4/1955.

There are three separate systems for earning Specials: achieving certain score thresholds, collecting team flags and earning RBIs.

RBIs are collected at the bullseye targets. On ball 1, a target scores 1 RBI. On ball 2, 2. On ball 3, 3. On ball 4, 4. On ball 5, 5.

Collect Team Flags from lit rollovers and slingshots. Collecting all flags of a league (red or yellow) lights one gobble hole for Special.

Nudge, but remember that tilt ends game.
