Thrills

Thrills is an electro-mechanical pinball machine with an adult 'ecdysiast entertainment' (striptease) theme, reportedly made in Italy using Gottlieb parts. Its beaded backbox design matches a style Gottlieb used in 1969, suggesting the game may date from around that period, though its exact manufacture date has not been confirmed.

Gameplay features two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, and six standup targets. A standout feature is the backglass light animation, in which the image of a woman lights up in sections as play progresses. The maximum displayed score is 999,900 points.

Beyond its gameplay mechanics, Thrills is notable for its risque theme, unusual among pinball machines of its era. While little is known about its designer or original manufacturer, this EM pinball machine remains a fascinating artifact reflecting the more adult side of Italian pinball production.
