Reggio

Reggio, manufactured by Maquinas Recreativas Sociedad Anonima (Maresa) of Madrid, Spain, is a one-player electro-mechanical pinball machine whose exact date of production is unconfirmed. It is notable as a 1-player adaptation of Gottlieb's 1972 two-player 'King Kool' and four-player 'King Rock', highlighting the cross-pollination of designs between Spanish and American manufacturers.

Reggio's gameplay features four flippers and an array of targets, including three pop bumpers, five standup targets, and two spinning targets. The right outlane features a ball return gate, while an end-of-ball bonus adds an extra layer of strategy to the game. Notably, Reggio has no slingshots, an uncommon design choice for a machine of its type. Separately, the machine uses a wedge-head cabinet, giving its backbox a distinctive angled silhouette.

Reggio's "Happiness - Music" theme is reflected in its artwork and visual aesthetic. Its existence highlights the contributions of Spanish manufacturers, such as Maresa, to the development of pinball in Europe, making it an interesting find for collectors and enthusiasts researching pinball manufacturing outside of the United States.
