Sportland

The Sportland is a rare and enigmatic electro-mechanical pinball machine from 1936, produced by O.D. Jennings and Company, one of the notable manufacturers of the era. Little detailed information survives about this machine beyond its basic facts: it was a single-player EM game manufactured in January 1936.

Without further documentation on Sportland's specific design or ruleset, its exact gameplay mechanics remain unclear. As with many EM machines of the mid-1930s, it likely relied on bumpers, targets, and skillful ball control rather than the flipper-based play that would not be introduced to pinball until 1947.

Not much is known about the Sportland's design, art, or theme, which only adds to its mystique as a scarce and historically interesting machine. Unfortunately, no further information is available on the machine's history, making it an intriguing subject for further research by pinball historians and collectors.
