Lucky Strike
About This Machine
Lucky Strike, a rare release from Taito do Brasil (a division of Japan's Taito), is a sports-themed electro-mechanical pinball machine with a bowling motif for up to four players. Its exact release year is not documented in surviving records, though its electro-mechanical construction places it within the era when EM machines dominated the market.
One notable technical detail is its scoring: Lucky Strike can display a maximum of 199,990 points per player, a relatively high ceiling for an EM machine of its type. The game is recorded as a replay-type machine, meaning outcomes were paid out as free games rather than cash.
Beyond these details, little else is documented about Lucky Strike's designer, exact production dates, or specific playfield features. It remains a rare find for collectors interested in the lesser-known corners of pinball history, particularly the Brazilian output of Taito's international operations.
