Smoky

Smoky was produced by Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) in March 1947, a single-player electro-mechanical machine from the twilight of the pre-flipper era. It reflects the mechanical vocabulary typical of EM games of its time, relying on bumpers and kick-out holes rather than the flipper technology that would debut later that same year with other manufacturers' releases.

Gameplay on Smoky centers on 13 passive bumpers and a single kick-out hole, giving players a straightforward but active playfield to work with. While detailed rules documentation for the machine has not survived, its layout is consistent with other flipperless EM designs of the mid-1940s.

Smoky's Western theme, featuring horses, reflects a common motif in pinball of that decade, tying into the era's fascination with the American frontier. Specific details about the artwork and design are limited due to a lack of surviving documentation, but the machine remains a representative example of ESCO's mid-1940s output.
