It is a sequel to both Pin•Bot and The Machine: Bride of Pin•Bot, using a rethemed Pin•Bot playfield with a dot-matrix display added. The game is themed around an intergalactic casino, with Pin•Bot and The Machine hosting four gambling games — Pin•Bot Poker, Slot Machine, Roll the Dice, and Keno — with several other methods of getting points. Eventually, you'll get to the Casino Run, where you spin a slot machine to rack up points and prizes while avoiding the bomb. One interesting game mechanic is that the player can cheat in most modes by mashing the Extra Ball buy-in button, letting Pin•Bot improve the outcome in some way.

Klondike

Pinball - Released - 1971

Klondike was produced by Williams Electronics, Inc. (1967-1985) in 1971. It is a fun game where the goal is to match the three mini reels on the top of the playing field with a certain combination. Once they are matched up in a specific order, a specific point value is given to the player. Then there are other points given for getting the ball in either two of the eject pockets on the left or right. When the ball enters these, the objects in the play field light up and the player receives a certain amount of points for lighting those up. Then they can also earn points by getting the ball in one of the side pockets, which advances one of the reels. The main point of the game is to match up certain combinations and score a lot of points. It is fun to play no matter how many times you play it and if you are young or old.

Riverboat Gambler is a gambling themed pinball machine produced by Williams. Pinball machine designer Mark Ritchie reportedly sings the song that plays during the game, whose gravel-voiced, New Orleans-style male voice sounds similar to Louis Armstrong. In the center of the head of the machine, a vertical roulette wheel operates more like the Wheel of Fortune than an actual roulette wheel and does not have a ball. 7 of 16 sections are black, 7 are red, which alternate, with two green spaces that have stars on opposite sides. Located directly above the roulette wheel, a four digit display keeps track of virtual chips. The player uses chips earned on the playfield to bet on the roulette wheel.
