Dogs Race

Dogs Race, manufactured by Bigliardini Elettronici Milano (BEM) of Italy, is a rare and intriguing electro-mechanical pinball machine. Its exact production year is unknown, but its unique construction and design make it a fascinating addition to pinball history. Notably, IPDB records indicate the game's internal mechanics were assembled from a mix of Gottlieb and Williams parts, an unusual pairing for a single machine.

Gameplay on Dogs Race is characterized by its two flippers, two pop bumpers, two slingshots, and four standup targets, along with four captive balls. A notable aspect of this machine is the open-elbow design in the inlanes, which allows the ball to pass from the inlane to the outlane and vice versa, adding an element of unpredictability to gameplay. The game is also an add-a-ball machine with mechanical backbox animation.

The theme of dog racing is simple yet evocative, with artwork and design elements that evoke the excitement and energy of this popular spectacle. Unfortunately, no additional information is available about the machine's designer or any notable trivia surrounding its creation. Nevertheless, Dogs Race remains a captivating piece of pinball history, offering a unique blend of gameplay features and design elements that continue to intrigue collectors and enthusiasts today.
