About the Game
Bally released the Rolling Stones Pinball Machine in 1980, designed by Jim Patla with artwork by Greg Freres. It was timed to coincide with the band’s album “Emotional Rescue.” A planned run of 5,700 units was announced, though far fewer are believed to have survived in good condition today, which makes a clean example genuinely hard to find. The backglass puts Mick Jagger front and centre, with bassist Bill Wyman also featured, and the playfield is built around fast rollover shots and a tough bank of drop targets. Due to licensing limits at the time, the table uses period sound effects rather than actual Rolling Stones songs — a detail collectors often ask about.
Why Buy This Rolling Stones Pinball From Aussie Arcade Games

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the Rolling Stones machine by Bally, or the newer Stern version?
This is the original Rolling Stones machine Bally built in 1980, not the 2011 Stern remake. Ask us if you’d prefer to compare the two before you decide.
Where can I find a Rolling Stones pinball for sale in Australia?
Aussie Arcade Games stocks this title directly from our Darwin warehouse and ships nationwide, with every unit tested before dispatch, so you’re buying locally instead of importing from overseas.
Does the Rolling Stones Pinball Machine play the band’s actual songs?
No. Licensing at the time meant the game uses period sound effects rather than real Rolling Stones tracks. This is normal for the 1980 machine and doesn’t affect how it plays.
How much does a Rolling Stones pinball machine 1980 cost in Australia?
Pricing depends on condition and current stock, since original units from this era are genuinely rare. See the price listed above for our current in-stock unit, or contact us for the latest availability.
Is the Rolling Stones Pinball Machine a good collector’s piece?
Yes — with an original run of only 5,700 units and strong demand from both pinball and music collectors, a well-kept example holds its value better than most tables from the same era.
