- Novelty [[gameplay-feature:targets]] shaped like candles, typically found on machines with horror, gothic, or carnival themes. The sculpted candle form gives the target a decorative presence on the playfield while functioning mechanically like a standard target — the ball strikes it to register a score or advance a game objective. [[manufacturer:genco]]'s *[[title:big-top-rifle-gallery]]* (1954) featured candle targets alongside other carnival-themed playfield elements, using the candle shape to evoke the atmosphere of a shooting gallery or sideshow attraction. A rare novelty form, candle targets appeared on very few machines.
