Deluxe Twins Senior
About This Machine
The Deluxe Twins Senior pinball machine was produced by the DeLuxe Amusement Company of San Antonio, Texas in February 1933. DeLuxe Amusement operated only briefly, from 1932 to 1934, placing this two-player, pure mechanical machine in pinball's earliest commercial era, though it postdates pioneering machines like Bally's 1931-32 'Ballyhoo' rather than being among the very first.
A notable feature is its pricing: two games for five cents, an economical offer likely aimed at Depression-era players looking to stretch their entertainment dollar.
As a pure mechanical (PM) machine, the Deluxe Twins Senior predates flippers and other electromechanical features that would come to define later pinball, relying instead on levers and gravity-driven mechanics. Little else is documented about its specific theme, designer, or artwork, but as an early product of a short-lived Texas manufacturer, it remains a notable piece of pinball's formative years.
