Las Vegas
About This Machine
The Las Vegas pinball machine, manufactured by Automaticos of Barcelona, Spain in 1967, is an example of early electro-mechanical (EM) design with an American gambling theme. Its playfield layout is the same as Gottlieb's 1967 'Super Score'. The game features four flippers, four pop bumpers, one passive bumper, and a captive ball spinner, giving it a complex layout for its era.
The machine's wedge-shaped headbox is a style that became a hallmark of 1960s pinball aesthetics. As an EM game with a four-flipper layout, it showcases the more elaborate end of electromechanical design during the period.
Unfortunately, little information is available on the machine's designer or its specific production run. Still, the Las Vegas remains an interesting piece of Spanish pinball history that continues to interest collectors and enthusiasts.
