About This Machine

The Morocco pinball machine, manufactured by Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) in November 1948, is an example of late-1940s electromechanical pinball design. It features reverse flippers, a design choice that was still relatively uncommon in this period and added dynamic possibilities to the traditional pinball experience.

Morocco's design is further defined by its five spring compression bumpers (which the manufacturer marketed as an 'exploding kicker'), four passive bumpers, and two rollover buttons. Players must navigate the ball through these obstacles, using the rollover buttons strategically to maximize their score. The machine's straightforward, focused gameplay mechanics make it an attractive option for collectors and enthusiasts seeking an authentic single-player EM experience.

Morocco's World Places theme was typical for its era, evoking distant locales through its playfield and backglass art. As an EM pinball machine from the late 1940s featuring reverse flippers, Morocco holds an interesting place in the history of early flipper-era design.
