Olympics

The Olympics pinball machine is an electromechanical (EM) game produced by Procedimientos Electromagnéticos de Tanteo y Color (trade name Petaco, S.A.) of Madrid, Spain, a manufacturer that operated from 1962 to 1977. Its exact production year is unknown, but the design is a copy of Gottlieb's 1962 machine of the same name, adapted for the Spanish market with its Olympic Games sports theme.

Gameplay features two flippers, four pop bumpers, five passive bumpers, two slingshots, and three standup targets. The wedge-head backbox gives the cabinet a distinctive silhouette, and the maximum displayed score is capped at 999 points, typical of EM scoring reels of the era.

As a licensed-in-spirit adaptation of an American Gottlieb design, Olympics illustrates how Spanish manufacturers of the 1960s and 70s often built on established American playfield layouts and themes for their domestic market.
