Cherokis

The Cherokis, manufactured by Recreativos Franco of Madrid, Spain in 1976, is an electro-mechanical pinball machine with an American West/Native American theme, offering a glimpse into Spain's pinball manufacturing scene during the mid-1970s. A four-player version of the same game was released by Recreativos Franco the same year under the name 'Cherokee.'

Key gameplay features include two flippers, two pop bumpers, and three kick-out holes, standard fare for EM games of the period. The 'Match' feature displays the last three digits of the score, and the machine uses a wedge-shaped backbox design typical of the era.

Little is documented about the specific designer behind Cherokis, but its EM design and American West theming make it a representative example of 1970s European pinball for collectors and historians interested in Recreativos Franco's output.
