Jamboree
About This Machine
The Jamboree, manufactured by Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) in 1948, is a rare and significant electro-mechanical pinball machine that showcases the evolution of the game during its early days. As one of the earliest machines to feature four flippers, the Jamboree offers a unique playing experience with five balls per play, adding an extra layer of challenge and excitement to the game.
What sets the Jamboree apart from other pinball machines of its time is its extensive array of features, including ten passive bumpers, four kick-out holes, and a separate kick-back lane in the outhole that rewards players with 25,000 points when lit. The machine's design and artwork are also noteworthy, as they reflect the celebratory theme of music, singing, and dancing that was popular during the late 1940s.
Unfortunately, little is known about the Jamboree, including its designer or any notable historical events it may have been involved in. However, for pinball enthusiasts, this machine offers a glimpse into the early days of electromechanical pinball design and a chance to experience a rare and historically significant piece of gaming history.
