Mondial Bank
About This Machine
The Mondial Bank, manufactured by Dama S.R.L. of Milan, Italy in 1970, is an example of early Italian electro-mechanical (EM) pinball design, offered as a conversion kit for Gottlieb's 1967 'Harmony' (and possibly 'Troubadour'). Its Electro-Mechanical construction, typical of its era, features an intricate network of relays, switches, and solenoids that drive gameplay.
The Mondial Bank's gameplay is characterized by its banking theme. Players navigate the machine's layout, working through various obstacles to achieve high scores. The presence of two flippers, four pop bumpers, and two slingshots creates a dynamic experience, requiring players to think strategically and react quickly.
The Mondial Bank's design and artwork are typical of the early 1970s, featuring bold lines, minimal color schemes, and a simple cabinet design. Information on the machine's designer is scarce, and no specific trivia or notable anecdotes have surfaced regarding its production or history. Nevertheless, it remains an interesting example of the conversion-kit business practiced by Italian EM manufacturers of the period.
