About This Machine

The Super Spin, designed by Ed Krynski with art by Gordon Morison, is an electro-mechanical pinball machine manufactured by Gottlieb in 1977, built around a fantasy-recreation theme.

Key to the Super Spin's layout is its balanced blend of challenging gameplay and features. Players will enjoy navigating the game's layout, which includes two pop bumpers, two slingshots, three standup targets, three roto-targets, and a kick-out hole that adds an extra layer of strategy to the game. The presence of a vari-target and end-of-ball bonus mechanism also contributes to the Super Spin's gameplay.

The Super Spin's design and artwork feature a fantasy-recreation theme with colorful visuals. Ed Krynski's design is characterized by clean lines and attention to detail typical of Gottlieb's late-1970s EM output. With 1,492 confirmed units produced, Super Spin was also released in a four-player version as Gottlieb's 'Jet Spin,' and was convertible to add-a-ball play. For collectors and enthusiasts, the Super Spin represents a piece of pinball history from the twilight years of Gottlieb's electromechanical era.
