About This Machine

The Silver Star, manufactured by FAER S.L. of Madrid in 1966, is a Western-themed electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine. Its playfield layout is the same as Bally's 1963 'Hootenanny', except it uses a stationary target in place of Hootenanny's mushroom bumper.

Notable gameplay features include two flippers, three pop bumpers, and two slingshots, which were common on EM machines of this era. The right-side free ball return lane with detour gates adds a unique twist to the gameplay experience, and standup targets provide players with multiple shooting opportunities.

Little information is available about the game's designer or any features that set it apart beyond its shared layout with Hootenanny. Nonetheless, the Silver Star remains a fascinating piece of pinball history for collectors and enthusiasts looking to explore the early days of the Spanish pinball industry.
