The Bazaar pinball machine, released by Bally Manufacturing in 1966, is known for being the first to feature the innovative "zipper flippers" design. This feature allowed the flippers to close the gap between them, preventing the ball from draining, which added a strategic element to gameplay. Designed by Ted Zale, the game also includes six mushroom bumpers, three pop bumpers, and a skill shot feature.

Ted Zale designed for Bally from 1963 to 1973. Here, we look back at eight of his machines and what each one introduced, from lock-and-release multiball on Star-Jet to the Balligator on Nip-It.

154 years of pinball firsts: from an 1871 bagatelle patent to the largest homebrew ever built.
