Arc En Ciel Bebe

Arc En Ciel Bebe, manufactured by Scott, Adickes & Cie of Paris, France in 1933, is a Pure Mechanical, single-player table-top/counter game. It is a smaller-format version of Keeney and Sons' 1932 'Rainbo,' with a larger pin-table version sold by the same manufacturer as 'Arc En Ciel.' The full name, 'Arc En Ciel Bebe' ('Rainbow Baby'), is inscribed along the upper arch of the playfield.

The machine offers 10 balls for 25 centimes and has a compact cabinet measuring 61 cm by 31 cm, reflecting the affordability and small footprint typical of counter-top amusement games of the era. Specific gameplay details are not well documented, but the game would have offered a simple challenge to accumulate points within its compact layout.

The game's theme is unrecorded, consistent with the minimal or abstract decoration common on counter games of this type, whose design generally prioritized durability and mechanical function over elaborate artwork. As a European adaptation of an American design (Rainbo), Arc En Ciel Bebe is a useful example of how U.S. amusement games were licensed or copied for the French market in the early 1930s.
