The Bally Playboy pin is "G" rated. The flyer from 1978 says it all.

Instead of the normal Playboy slogan "Entertainment for Men" that is shown on the front cover of the magazines, the backglass of the pinball machines says "Entertainment for All".

The artwork is also tamed down to a "G" level.

The vast majority of us find it hard to believe that what was considered "tame" back in 1978 could be considered pornographic almost 40 years later.

For normal people Bally Playboy isn't an issue.

If you are a religious fundamentalist or some kind of prude you might not want one.

So the key is if you are worried about what others might say, don't invite any whack-jobs over to play pinball.
