'''Victory''' is an [[PhysicalPinballTables arcade pinball game]] designed by Creator/JohnTrudeau with art by Constantino Mitchell. It was released by Creator/{{Gottlieb}} (under the "Premier" label) in 1987.
The game is, quite simply, a fictionalized auto race in pinball form. Shoot the various ramps and chutes up, around, and under the playfield to reach the seven checkpoints along the track, then cross the finish line and win the race. Faster track times lead to higher scores, though savvy racers will be sure to make a pit stop in the upper playfield for extra balls, and spell FINISH to boost the multiplier.
''Victory'' is considered to be a solid but generic design with a strong emphasis on good aim; the stop-and-go gameplay and linear checkpoint sequence tends to turn off casual players, while experts leverage the multiplier for higher scores. It was originally designed to have a third, lower-level playfield, but it was removed due to cost.
''Victory'' was also one of the few Gottlieb games to use a "Vitrigraph" mylar overlay on its playfield; unfortunately, it had a tendency to come loose over time, rendering the game unplayable. Gottlieb responded by offering replacements using conventional wood silkscreening with a mylar cover.
Digital versions of this game are available for ''Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection'' and ''VideoGame/ThePinballArcade''.

!!''Victory'' demonstrates the following tropes:
* TheBigRace: As if the big IndyCar on the backbox didn't make it obvious.
* BloodSport: Subverted; marketing materials indirectly suggest that ''Victory'' is set in a VehicularCombat arena, and the artwork shows cars loaded with assorted spikes and weapons. However, the actual game rules make no reference to any of this, and it's easy to treat the game as a conventional, non-violent auto race.
* CoolCar: All of the cars are [[IndyCar Indy racers]] loaded with spikes and weapons.
* ScoreMultiplier: This is the key to high scores in ''Victory'' -- [[SpellingBonus spelling FINISH]] raises the multiplier for ''everything'' for the ''rest of the game''.
* SpellingBonus: F-I-N-I-S-H raises the ScoreMultiplier up to 8x, while F-U-E-L (which must be spelled in order) gives various rewards, up to an Extra Ball.
* SpikedWheels: The cars have wickedly long spikes protruding from the rims.
