Master Stroke

The Master Stroke is a rare electro-mechanical pinball machine from Petaco, S.A., a Spanish manufacturer based in Madrid that operated from 1962 to 1977, producing a range of titles during its run. An export version was later released by Recel in 1977.

Gameplay on the Master Stroke uses flippers, pop bumpers, and slingshots to navigate the ball through the playfield. The machine's wedge head design routes the ball from the shooter lane across the playfield to the top, adding an element of complexity to gameplay. Three 5-bank drop targets and a standup target provide further scoring opportunities, and dual inlanes on the right side add another layer of challenge for players.

The Master Stroke's theme and artwork are focused on billiards. While little is known about this machine, including its exact release year, it remains an intriguing piece of pinball history that will likely appeal to enthusiasts for its rarity and distinctive design elements.
