Bowling League
About This Machine
Bowling League, manufactured by Genco Manufacturing Company in late 1949, is not a pinball machine but a single-player puck bowler - a game in which the player slides a puck down a lane, evoking real bowling. Genco's own documentation sometimes mixed it in with its pinball listings, but it belongs to the bowling-alley category of coin-op games.
Historical accounts suggest production began around November 1949; a Cash Box column from that December noted that Genco's Art Crane was already working with a California distributor on the game's first shipment.
Beyond its bowling theme and basic production details, little else is documented about Bowling League's specific gameplay, artwork, or designer, leaving much about this early Genco bowling game a matter for collectors and historians to piece together.
