Casino

The Casino, designed by Harry Mabs and manufactured by Williams in 1958, is a classic example of 1950s electro-mechanical (EM) pinball design. Notably, IPDB long credited the game to Harry Williams, but the manufacturer's original playfield drawing, dated early 1958, is signed by Mabs, confirming him as the designer. The backglass and playfield art are by George Molentin.

In terms of gameplay, the Casino features two flippers, four pop bumpers, and a gobble hole that adds an element of risk and reward. The machine also has two kick-out holes, and its rollovers and kick-out holes light up playing cards on the backglass, creating a dynamic display that immerses players in the card-themed experience.

While little information has been uncovered about the machine's production history, the Casino remains an intriguing example of EM pinball engineering and a testament to Williams' influence on the industry. For enthusiasts seeking a glimpse into mid-century pinball design, it is a fascinating piece that rewards close inspection and play.
