The Champion Pub Pinball Machine puts you in the ring instead of behind the flippers. Released by Williams Electronics under the Bally label in April 1998, this boxing-themed table sends players through round after round of opponents, training and fighting your way to becoming the Pub Champion.
Only 1,369 units were ever produced, making it one of the rarer late-90s Bally releases and a genuine find for collectors searching specifically for this title. What sets it apart from most pinball machines is how physical the theme feels — this isn’t just boxing artwork on a standard layout, it’s a table built entirely around mechanical boxing toys you interact with directly.
$5,999.00 — Refurbished, tested before it ships
Key Features of Champion Pub Pinball Machine
- Rotating boxer figure — a punching bag rotates 180 degrees to reveal a boxer who waves his arms as you land shots
- Dual ramps for face shots, center shot for body blows — hit the figure from either side or thread the middle for a different scoring hit
- Speed bag mini-playfield — plastic fists, controlled by the flippers, launch the ball at a speed bag target
- Jump rope mechanism — a rotating wire the ball must “jump” over using a button-controlled solenoid
- 4 multiball modes with 15 jackpot levels — deep scoring structure for players chasing high scores
- 10 different international opponents — work through a real progression of fighters on your way to the title
- Over 300 speech sound effects — one of the most voice-heavy tables of its era
How Champion Pub Pinball Machine Plays
The goal is simple to understand and hard to master: fight your way through opponents and become the Pub Champion. The rotating boxer figure is the centerpiece — landing shots on either side of his face through the dual ramps trains him, while shooting the gap between the ramps lands a body blow. Everything you do on the playfield feeds back into the boxing theme in a way few pinball machines manage.
Along the way, you’ll work the speed bag mini-playfield, where flipper-controlled plastic fists strike the ball instead of a normal flipper shot, and the jump rope feature, where a rotating wire has to be timed and jumped using a solenoid button. With 10 international opponents to work through and 4 multiball modes stacked with 15 jackpot levels, there’s real depth here beyond the novelty of the toys.
