Machine identity

Bally’s service manual names the machine Bow & Arrow and identifies it as game 1033. The Open Pinball Database records the title as Bow and Arrow, lists Bally as the manufacturer and gives a manufacture date of November 1975.

The database and Bally documentation both identify it as a four-player machine. Its score-reel display and relay-driven mechanisms place it in Bally’s electro-mechanical era.

Gameplay and scoring

The game begins with a 1,000-point bonus that can advance to 10,000. The bonus advances through the upper-right target and completed spinner-light sequences, and it is collected through the bonus hole or at the outhole. Lighting all four lettered thumper bumpers enables double bonus at the outhole.

A flash-motor unit cycles indicated awards for the top-center saucer and lower-center target. One award opens a free-ball gate, allowing a ball passing through it to score and return to the shooter. The rules also provide adjustable extra-ball and special awards.

Operators could configure the machine for either three-ball or five-ball play. The cabinet also supported adjustable replay, match, high-score and coin settings.
