We hate to use the word “rare” but truer words can not be spoken for King Tut. This hard to find 1968 Bally Pinball Machine was a very low production game with a small production run of only 800 units world wide.

Note worthy history on Add-A-Ball & Replay Pinball Machines.
This is the replay version to its Add-A-Ball counter part King Rex, that has an even smaller production run of 250 games.
Law enforcement at the time believed that pinball machines could be viewed as a gambling device by awarding replays (free games). Due to different jurisdictions throughout the United States of where pinball was considered legal or illegal for gambling pinball manufactures came out with two versions of most single player machines an Add-A-Ball versions (King Rex) where the player is awarded additional balls to play…as opposed to winning free games, like the replay version King Tut, which we are offering here.

Objective to King Tut game play is as follows:
Hit the various targets and rollovers to lite the letters of “KING TUT” completion of lighting these words, lights SPECIAL target that will award replays when hit.
