Age Ratings
Williams Pinball on iOS and Android is rated PEGI 12 for Nudity, Mild swearing, Simulated gambling.
Williams tables in Pinball FX are rated ESRB EVERYONE 10+ for Animated Blood, Mild Violence and Suggestive Themes. The Gorgar pinball machine depicts a devil-like creature holding a woman on an altar. The stone altar is covered with blue and red streaks that strongly imply a blood effect; the woman wears a small bikini that exposes deep cleavage. As players hit targets and achieve objectives on each table, brief animated sequences appear on a dot-matrix screen. Some of these animations can include brief images of characters getting impaled with a spear or being captured by evil birds (e.g., text displays "1 child eaten" at the end of the mini-game).
