Rainbow

The Rainbow, a 1956 electro-mechanical game from D. Gottlieb & Company, is a notable release from the company's mid-1950s output, of which 1,250 units were produced. Designed by Wayne Neyens with artwork by Roy Parker, it carries an American West theme, complete with a backglass featuring Gottlieb's famous slogan: 'Amusement Pinballs, as American as Baseball and Hot Dogs!'

Gameplay centers on two flippers, three pop bumpers, and three gobble holes, laid out to challenge players navigating the Wild West-themed playfield. According to The Pinball Compendium: Electro-Mechanical Era, Rainbow was the last Gottlieb game to use four colors on its cabinet artwork -- subsequent releases were limited to three colors, making it a small but notable milestone in Gottlieb's production history.

With 1,250 confirmed units built, Rainbow is a moderately scarce machine today, sought after by collectors of 1950s Gottlieb EM games for its cowboy-themed art and its place at the tail end of Gottlieb's four-color cabinet era.
