Trigger

Trigger, manufactured by Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) in January 1951, is a Western-themed electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine offering five balls for five cents, a standard pricing format for pinball of the era.

Key gameplay features on Trigger include its two flippers, allowing players to control the ball's movement with more precision than pre-flipper designs, along with three pop bumpers and three passive bumpers that add variety to gameplay.

The Western theme of Trigger is notable for its straightforward yet evocative use of imagery and color, though specific details about the machine's artist are not readily documented. This 1951 pin game should not be confused with the 1952 Exhibit "Trigger" kiddie amusement ride, an unrelated coin-operated ride developed with the assistance of cowboy movie star Roy Rogers.
