The Gill-man—commonly called the Creature—is the lead antagonist of the 1954 black-and-white science fiction film Creature from the Black Lagoon and its two sequels Revenge of the Creature (1955) and The Creature Walks Among Us (1956). In all three films, Ricou Browning portrays the Gill-man when he is swimming underwater. Directed by Jack Arnold. With Richard Carlson, Julie Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno. A strange prehistoric beast lurks in the depths of the Amazonian jungle.

Creature from the Black Lagoon is a pinball machine designed by John Trudeau ('Dr. Flash') and released by Midway (under the Bally brand name). It is loosely based on the movie of the same name. The game's theme is 1950's drive-in theater. The pinball game was licensed from Universal Studios by Bally so that all backglass and cabinet artwork and creature depictions would resemble those of the original movie.^[1]

Hologram[edit]

The centerpiece of the table's playfield is a holographic depiction of the titular Creature, illuminated and in motion during multiball play within its 'Black Lagoon habitat' (the space beneath the playfield visible through a customized window). The green hologram was produced by Polaroid and is affixed to a metal plate that is divided into three sections which are designed so that the hologram appears to float. A cam behind one of sections presses against the back of the plate, gently bending the hologram's surface, so that the Creature appears to 'ripple' as if underwater and to swipe at the player with its claw. A 2nd motor mounted in the bottom of the cabinet oscillates the light reflecting mirror, changing the direction of the light source and causing the image of the creature to slowly turn from side to side.

Gameplay[edit]

The main objective of the game is to collect the four letters in F-I-L-M to activate the game's wizard mode, Rescue the Girl. They are, from left-to-right:

F: Shoot the ball into the left K-I-S-S scoop four times to collect the letter F. The letter F can also be collected on the skill shot.

I: Light the four menu targets to open the Snack Bar and collect the letter I. Menu targets can also be lit by shooting into the Snack Bar.

L: Complete the P-A-I-D rollovers at the top right of the playfield to collect the letter L. The letter L can also be collected on the skill shot, by shooting the ball into whichever rollover is flashing.

M: Shoot the ball into the Slide (right scoop) to collect the letter M.

F-I-L-M letters can also be collected as Snack Bar rewards. Once the four letters in F-I-L-M are collected, shoot the ball into the left or right scoop to begin a 2-ball multiball. The Creature will randomly hide the girl in one of three locations: the left scoop, the Snack Bar scoop, or the right scoop. Shooting the ball into the correct scoop, then into the Snack Bar scoop, then again into the Snack Bar scoop, scores a Jackpot. The Jackpot value starts at 40 million, but increases with each jet bumper hit. Once the Jackpot has been collected, after a certain number of jet bumper hits, the Super Jackpot will light up. Shooting into the Snack Bar scoop will score a Super Jackpot, whose value is twice the current Jackpot value, multiplied by the field multiplier currently on the board.

Additional scoring modes or methods include:

Snack Bar: When the Snack Bar is open, shooting into this scoop gives a random reward.

Mega Menu: The four menu targets are lit. These targets are worth 5, 10, 15, and 20 million.

Playground Award: The game activates one of the following three modes at random.

• Unlimited Millions: The left ramp is worth 3, 6, 9, ... million until the timer expires. This mode lasts for 25 seconds.
• Fighter Jets: The jet bumpers are 1 million per hit. This mode lasts for 25 seconds.
• Intermission Time: Both ramps are worth 5 million each. This lasts for 15 seconds.

Big Millions: The right ramp is worth 5, 10, 15, ... million. This lasts for 10 seconds.

Move Your Car: After a certain number of center shots, Move Your Car is activated. A score on the display starts at 8 million and decreases rapidly until reaching 2 million. Shooting a center shot scores the current score on the display and starts a 15 second timer. Successive center shots score 2x, 3x, and 4x the score of the first center shot.

Double Feature: Shoot the left ramp several times in succession. The Double Feature score starts at 500,000 and doubles up to a maximum of 16 million for each consecutive left ramp shot. Shoot the center ramp immediately afterwards to score the Double Feature.

Snack Attack: After shooting the right scoop 4 times, Snack Attack begins. A score on the display starts at 20 million and rapidly decreases. Shooting the Snack Bar scores the amount shown on the display.

Video Mode: After shooting the right scoop 8 times, shoot either the left or right scoop to begin Video Mode. In this mode, a peeping Tom appears, and the player must engage the left or right flippers to punch the peeping Tom a certain number of times.

Super Mode: After shooting the right scoop 12 times, a 12 second timer starts. Shoot the Snack Bar scoop to begin Super Mode. In Super Mode, the Mega Menu, Big Millions, Snack Attack, Unlimited Millions, and Intermission Time scoring modes are activated. This mode lasts for 25 seconds.

Super Creature Feature: During Super Mode, shoot the ball into the left ramp within the first 10 seconds. This will send the ball into the whirlpool. Each spin in the whirlpool is worth 5, 10, 15, ... million up to a maximum of 35 million.

Songs[edit]

There were five 1950's songs put in the game. These are:

• 'Rock Around the Clock' by Bill Haley and the Comets
• 'Get a Job' by The Silhouettes
• 'Summertime Blues' by Eddie Cochran
• 'Willie and the Hand Jive' by Johnny Otis
• 'Red River Rock' (Johnny and the Hurricanes version)

All of the songs are synthesizer-based instrumental versions played by the game's sound hardware.

Digital versions[edit]

Creature from the Black Lagoon is available as a licensed table of The Pinball Arcade for several platforms. Due to licensing issues however only three of the five songs have been kept intact for this version. In addition to the three songs, two Easter Eggs which refer to Mortal Kombat are disabled since the game's Family Mode is permanently activated in the Pinball Arcade incarnation. This table is also included in Williams Pinball Classics (2001) for PC.^[2]

Creature From The Black Lagoon Slot Machine Review

Creature From The Black Lagoon is a visually stunning 3D video slot game made by Net Entertainment. It was inspired by a 1954 American black and white film of the same name that has, through the years, become something of a cult film within the monster genre. Our version is identical to the original game and completely free to play.

The movie and the slot tell a story about a scientific trip down the Amazon involving Kay Lawrence, Dr. David Reed, Dr. Carl Maia and Lucas. The trip results in the discovery of a strange beast - the creature from the Black Lagoon.

The magnificent NetEnt’s release boasts vintage looking reels and icons, trying to maintain the original film’s feel. It’s not just the visuals that flatter the theme, it’s also the eerie, mystery-filled soundtrack.

The Creature From The Black Lagoon slot is played across 20 fixed lines and 5 columns. The background to the reels shows the hidden lagoon, and all the symbols seen against it are related to the theme. Low values belong to items such as a knife, a video camera, an oxygen tank/breathing apparatus and a pair of binoculars. High payouts are attached to the main four characters from the movie: Kay, David, Carl and Lucas, looking straight from the period.

Some of the settings you can make use of are the Max Bet button, the Autoplay tab, the coin value adjustment arrows and the bet level left arrow/right arrow (bet level goes from 1 to 10). The coin value ranges from 0.01 to 0.50.

The game’s logo acts as the Wild symbol. It appears anywhere on the reels to substitute regular icons and complete winning lines. The Wilds can be sticky, remain in their positions and induce a re-spin. The Free Spin! symbol is the Scatter, and it activates the main free games feature.

Who Played The Creature From The Black Lagoon

Where is the creature, you may wonder? The creature, or Gill-man, makes an appearance during Free Spins, triggered by three or more Scatters anywhere on screen. You will then see the monster human-fish capturing Kay and carrying her off to his underwater den. The reward is 10 freebies for 3 Scatters, 15 free spins for 4 Scatters and 20 free games for a max of 5 Scatters. The target symbol appears during free play and allows you to try to hit the creature with the harpoon. Successful shots will add Sticky and Spreading Wilds on the reels, as well as more free spins.

Don’t expect a progressive jackpot prize; instead, enjoy the high variance and a 96% RTP offered by the Creature From The Black Lagoon slot. The maximum payout is 750 coins for five Kay symbols on a line. Those who’ve not seen the original movie can equally appreciate the NetEnt slot inspired by it, due to its superb graphics and chilling sounds. All it takes is an appetite for adventure.
