About This Machine

The Black Pearl, manufactured by Viditis, S.P.R.L. of Brussels, Belgium in 2009, is a solid-state electronic pinball machine that stands out for its innovative design and gameplay features. What makes this machine significant in pinball history is its use of two 26-inch LCD screens in the backbox, offering six different games to players. This unique setup provides an immersive experience, with the ability to switch between various game modes seamlessly.

In terms of gameplay, the Black Pearl boasts a whopping 25 trap holes, which adds an extra layer of excitement and challenge for players. The machine also features credit meters in Euros, allowing players to start games from as little as 25 cents up to 6 Euros. As stakes increase, so does the potential reward, with a maximum win of 500€ per game. This unique system enables players to experience a range of gameplay scenarios and strategies, making each playthrough distinct.

Unfortunately, there is limited information available about the machine's design, art, or theme. However, it's worth noting that the use of LCD screens in this era was still relatively rare, and Viditis' implementation on the Black Pearl shows a forward-thinking approach to pinball game development. For enthusiasts looking for a unique and engaging experience, the Black Pearl offers an intriguing opportunity to explore its features and gameplay mechanics.
