Poker Plus

The Poker Plus pinball machine was manufactured by Recel S. A. of Madrid, Spain, a company active from 1974 to 1986, and released in April 1978 as a solid-state electronic (SS) update to Recel's earlier 1977 EM game of the same name. Its release marked a time when solid-state electronics were becoming increasingly prevalent in the industry, paving the way for more sophisticated gameplay and features.

One of the key aspects that makes the Poker Plus stand out is its engaging gameplay mechanics. The four-player game presents a combination of two flippers, a single pop bumper, three slingshots, and five drop targets, all working together to create an experience centered around card-themed gameplay, powered by the Recel System III MPU.

The Poker Plus boasts a classic, straightforward design aesthetic that reflects the era in which it was created. Its art and theme are centered on a simple representation of poker-inspired graphics, complete with card suits and numbers. Little is documented about the designer or notable historical events surrounding this specific machine, leaving room for further research and discovery by enthusiasts.
