About This Machine

Gun Smoke, manufactured by Games, Incorporated of Chicago in April 1956, is not a pinball machine but an electro-mechanical gambling device known as an "electronic upright" or "flasher type" slot machine. It does not pay out cash directly; instead, a credit meter increments, allowing continued play without inserting additional coins.

The cabinet measures approximately 66 inches high, 24 inches wide, and 17 inches deep. The game's design centers on a nature-inspired Western/wildlife theme. Games, Incorporated's related 'Big Horn' upright, which was built to "fit any location," used an identical backglass.

Little is documented about Gun Smoke's designer or the specifics of its mechanism. Ads for the game first appeared in trade publications in the spring of 1956, describing it as a new release for that year.
