Product description:
​Manufacturer: Bally / Williams
Year of Release: 1997
Designer: John Popadiuk
About the Game:
Step into the neon-lit world of Cirqus Voltaire, often cited as one of the most beautiful pinball machines ever created. Designed by John Popadiuk, this table is a visual masterpiece famous for its unique layout: the Dot Matrix Display (DMD) is mounted at playfield level in the back rim, rather than in the speaker panel, keeping the player’s eyes glued to the action. With its vibrant colors and the menacing “Ringmaster,” it is a highly prized “Holy Grail” machine for collectors.

​Game Features:
​The Ringmaster: A motorized head rises from the playfield to taunt the player; bash him to defeat him.
​Neon Ramp: The only pinball machine to feature a real neon light tube running along the main plastic ramp.
​Boom Balloon: A pop bumper that dramatically rises out of the back panel during gameplay.
​High-Wire Multiball: Lock balls on the wireform ramp to start a chaotic acrobatic multiball mode.
