About This Machine

Tahiti is a 1949 pinball machine produced by the Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company, representative of the mature electro-mechanical (EM) pinball design of the late 1940s.

Tahiti's gameplay offers 5 balls per play and includes two flippers, four pop bumpers, and a kick-out hole, giving players multiple opportunities to score points and navigate the game board.

The Tahiti's design and artwork are characteristic of late-1940s pinball aesthetics, featuring illustrations of tropical islands, women, and happy couples in beachside settings, reflecting a theme of relaxation and leisure that evokes the carefree spirit of a tropical getaway. Tahiti remains a piece of pinball history from Chicago Coin's postwar output.
