Casino

The 1972 Casino pinball machine is a solid example of Chicago Coin's electro-mechanical (EM) design in the early 1970s. Designed by Albin Peters and Jerry Koci with artwork by Christian Marche, this four-player game carries a show business theme that is a charming nod to the glamour of 1970s entertainment.

Casino offers a diverse range of play experiences with its two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, five standup targets, four rollover buttons, and a kick-out hole. The machine's up-post between the flippers, left outlane kickback, and right outlane ball return gate create opportunities for players to save the ball, while the two spinning discs add an element of unpredictability. An end-of-ball bonus and a ball-in-play counter on the playfield apron round out the feature set, with a maximum displayed score of 99,990 points per player.

The game's sound comes from three chimes and a knocker, and the chime boxes are made of wood - a charming touch that adds to the machine's nostalgic appeal. One historical oddity: a stripped playfield pictured on IPDB inexplicably displays the misspelled name "LAS VAGAS CASINO," while the backglass and the manufacturer's paper documentation show only the word CASINO.
