Here's a 1976 Gottlieb Card Whiz pinball machine in action. Sorry about the glare on the glass in this video. Yes, I know I could have removed the glass for the video. Whatever.
Anyway, this is the two-player variant of the more popular four-player Royal Flush. Both of these titles are generally regarded as classics and are pretty typical of the kind of thing that Gottlieb was producing at their hey-day in the mid-70's. Drop target games with card themes from Gottlieb get lots of love from collectors and players. Personally, I'm not a big fan of this title, but the rules are fairly cool and hitting drop targets is pretty fun on the whole.
This game was designed by Ed Krynski with artwork by Gordon Morison - the quintessential Gottlieb team from the golden age.
