Cirqus Voltaire, designed by John Popadiuk and released by Bally in 1997, is a pinball machine that stands out for its unique and vibrant circus-themed gameplay. The game features a distinctive neon light along the right-hand ramp and a pop bumper that rises from the middle of the playfield, adding to its visual appeal. The central gameplay element is the Ringmaster, a taunting head that emerges from the playfield, challenging players to hit it to progress. Players must complete nine marvels, such as Juggler Multiball and Ringmaster Frenzie, to ultimately "Join the Cirqus" and activate the wizard mode​.
