Fortune
About This Machine
The Fortune pinball machine, manufactured by Procedimientos Electromagnéticos de Tanteo y Color (Petaco, S.A.) of Madrid, Spain, is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball game from 1972. It is one of several machines Petaco produced during its 1962-1977 run of domestic Spanish pinball manufacturing.
Detailed information about Fortune's specific gameplay features, theme, and design is not well documented, and no designer or artist credits are currently known. Machines from this era and manufacturer typically featured traditional electro-mechanical scoring via flippers, bumpers, and targets, though the exact configuration used in Fortune is unconfirmed.
As with many Spanish EM machines of the period, Fortune remains a relatively obscure entry in pinball history, of interest primarily to collectors and researchers focused on Petaco's catalog and the broader history of Spanish pinball manufacturing.
