This is the very first pinball machine I ever laid my eyes on, and I will never forget it as long as I live. Sure, 'Royal Flush' is pinball at its most basic but its beautiful artwork, theme, and simple but fun gameplay make it so wonderful to go back to time after time. The goal of this pinball classic, if it weren't already known by its title is to obtain a royal flush card hand by directing the ball into specific drop targets in the hopes of getting the huge jackpot.
The game's art by Gordon Morison is one of the most colorful early pins that I've seen. The choice of bright and vibrant colors such as yellow, purple, and red really attracts people to its playfield. Though the theme of casino/card game pinball tables have been more than overplayed, this one really has the charm and gameplay to back itself up, even if it may come off as generic at first glance.
'Royal Flush' got me into the game of pinball, and that may leave me a bit jaded however I think most fans will agree that once you pop in your quarters, you won't regret it. It's simplicity is also its perfection.
