The Entertainer

Overview

Take Five (1978), Circa 1933 (1979), and The Entertainer (1977), all produced by Allied Leisure Industries or Fascination International, are notable for their unique cocktail table design. These machines share a common playfield layout and electronics, offering two-player head-to-head gameplay in a compact, space-saving form. Designed by Jack Pearson and Bob Betor, Take Five features standard pinball elements like two flippers, three pop bumpers, slingshots, and drop targets. Its compact size and the option for both "add-a-ball" or free play made it a popular choice in bars and restaurants during the late 1970s.

Circa 1933 and The Entertainer utilize the same playfield design as Take Five, but each has distinctive artwork and themes, with Circa 1933 embracing a historical theme. These cocktail-style machines are relatively rare and are now considered collectibles by pinball enthusiasts​.
