Another classic wedgehead , Kings and Queens is a great 
player and important to the collecting community because 
it  was played by Roger Daltrey in the 1975 film 'Tommy'.

The game has lots of  rollovers and 4 relay action kickout
holes. Thats what Gottlieb called their new innovative design
at the time, games like these are called hole hoppers. 

The object is  to make 4 of a kind on the rollovers,
Aces,  Kings, Queens and Jacks to light the corresponding
kicker hole. The holes lite up randomly for a special 
and only one kicker hole lites at a time.

    
 
The cool thing is that the kicker holes pass the ball, Ace hops
the ball to the King kicker hole, King hops the ball to the Queen 
kicker hole, Queenhops the ball to the Jack kicker hole and the
Jack hops the ball to the right flipper.




Another Special is located on the rollover Ace of Spades. This
special is lit by making all the Clubs. It tough to get it
because, again it alternates off and on.



The game is just lots of fun to play even as simplistic as
it is  having just rollovers, bumpers and kicker holes.



Racking up points is quickly done by making the kicker holes.
The holes as 10 points and 10 points for each lit card. If You
make all the rollovers and drop the ball in the Ace kicker, you
pick up 200 points as it passes through the Ace, King, 
Queen And Jack!
