Merry Widow

The Merry Widow, manufactured by Genco Manufacturing Company starting June 11, 1948, is an electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine with a dancing and pageantry theme. A confirmed 1,595 units were produced.

Gameplay features two flippers, six passive bumpers, and three kick-out holes, providing a straightforward but engaging experience for players, characteristic of EM games from this era with their emphasis on physical interaction between ball and playfield.

The Merry Widow's theme, centered around dancing, pageantry, and women, was a common motif for Genco's output in the late 1940s. Unfortunately, little information is available about the machine's specific designer, but it remains a solid representative of Genco's late-1940s pinball catalog.
