Super Alben
About This Machine
Super Alben, manufactured by Alben of France in 1964, is an electro-mechanical pinball machine with a playfield layout similar to Gottlieb's 1954 title 'Super Jumbo.' Its gambling-themed presentation, centered on slot machines, is reinforced by a mechanical backbox animation that mimics spinning slot machine reels — a distinctive touch for an EM game of this vintage.
Gameplay features two flippers, four pop bumpers, and two slingshots, along with a center target that may be a drop target. The maximum displayed score is capped at 1,999 points per player, typical of EM scoring reels of the period.
Super Alben's design and artwork likely reflected the French gambling and casino culture of the time, though specific details about its designer are not well-documented. As a late-production Alben title with its distinctive mechanical slot-reel animation, it stands out among the company's other output.
