About This Machine

The Regatta, manufactured by Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) in October 1938, is a Flipperless, electro-mechanical single-player game with a nautical, sailing-themed design. As a flipperless machine, gameplay relies on the ball's natural path and the layout of passive bumpers rather than active player control of the ball.

Key features of the Regatta include its 5-ball gameplay, available for 5 cents, and 15 passive bumpers that add an element of unpredictability as the ball travels down the playfield.

Regatta's theme is quintessential of its era, drawing on adventure, boats, and sailing motifs. While specific details about its designer remain unknown, this machine is a piece of pre-flipper pinball history from ESCO's late-1930s lineup.
