About This Machine

The Grand Casino, manufactured by J. P. Seeburg Corporation in April 1934, is an early example of electro-mechanical (EM) pinball from the company's early years in the amusement business. The Seeburg brand would go on to become known for jukeboxes and other mechanical devices, alongside its early pinball offerings.

A closer examination of gameplay reveals a traditional early EM layout, featuring bumpers and scoring lanes characteristic of the era. Players launched the ball with a plunger and navigated it through the playfield's obstacles, since flippers had not yet been invented and would not appear until 1947.

Unfortunately, little is known about the Grand Casino's original artwork or theme, as this information has been lost to time. For collectors and enthusiasts, the Grand Casino represents an opportunity to own a piece of early pinball history from one of the industry's notable manufacturers.
