Unlike Buckaroo, Spin Out has no backglass animation. Symmetrical layout with a row of 5 lanes at the top. The center lane scores a special when lit. The others are labled A, B, C, and D. Getting A through D lanes lights the center lane for special. The prominent feature on this game is the roto-target in the center of the playfield.
Colors are yellow and black on a white background.
The stenciled shapes are Formula 1-style cars and a driver's head with a helmet. This machine has several items to shoot for. For each of the lettered lanes completed, the center eject hole and corresponding lit side lanes score an additional 1,000 points. So, completing all four lanes gives you 5,000 points for every time you hit the hole or a lane. This racks up the points very fast.
