Las Vegas

The Las Vegas pinball machine, manufactured by Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company in December 1972, is representative of Chicago Coin's electro-mechanical (EM) output during the early 1970s, a period when EM designs were gradually giving way to the coming solid-state era. The machine's release coincided with the growing popularity of Las Vegas as a tourist destination, but no direct connection between the theme and the design has been confirmed.

Gameplay on the Las Vegas is characterized by traditional EM pinball mechanics, featuring flippers, bumpers, and a ball return system. While the ruleset is not specified, this machine likely requires players to navigate the playfield, utilizing targets to score points and achieve goals, in keeping with EM pinball design of the period.

Unfortunately, little information is available regarding the machine's design, art, or theme. Interestingly, a game called 'Fascination' shares the same model number (416), suggesting Las Vegas may be an alternate name for that title, though this has not been confirmed. This scarcity and obscurity only add to its allure for serious collectors and historians, making it a curious find in the world of vintage pinball.
