Super Soccer
About This Machine
The 1975 Super Soccer pinball machine by Gottlieb is part of the company's electro-mechanical lineup, built around a soccer theme with mechanical backbox animation depicting soccer balls being added as play progresses. It was designed by Ed Krynski with artwork by Gordon Morison.
Gameplay features include two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, three standup targets, two kick-out holes, and two spinning targets, along with a right outlane ball return gate. The end-of-ball bonus system rewards players with a high-scoring opportunity, further emphasizing the need for strategy and skill. The half-moon credit window provides a stylish touch, and the replay wheel (maximum 9) tracks the score threshold needed to earn a replay.
In terms of design and art, Super Soccer boasts a colorful, eye-catching theme built around the sport. With a maximum displayed score of 99,990 points per player and a sound package of three chimes and a knocker, and 7,130 confirmed units produced, Super Soccer stands as one of Gottlieb's higher-production mid-1970s titles. A two-player version of the game was released as Gottlieb's 'Soccer.'
