Overview
Bow and Arrow is a smooth, fast-paced EM machine built around spinner action and bonus progression. The twin spinners are a central feature, allowing players to rack up points quickly while advancing the bonus ladder.
The game’s layout promotes continuous ball movement, with kick-out holes and a right-side return gate helping keep the ball in play and creating satisfying shot flow. Players work to build and double their bonus while taking advantage of high-scoring spinner opportunities.
With its approachable rules, lively playfield, and strong visual theme, Bow and Arrow stands out as a fun and reliable mid-70s Bally machine that appeals to both casual players and collectors.
