Spring Break

Spring Break, designed by John Trudeau and manufactured by VIFICO S.A. of Malaga, Spain, is a fascinating addition to any pinball collection. As one of the lesser-known machines from the 1980s, it offers an intriguing glimpse into the evolution of solid-state electronic pinball designs during this period.

What sets Spring Break apart from its contemporaries is its innovative gameplay features. The machine boasts four flippers, three pop bumpers, and a unique instant multiball mode that begins as soon as play starts by pressing the right flipper button. This unusual feature creates an exciting experience for players, making it stand out in the world of pinball. Additionally, the presence of three-bank drop targets and four rollunders adds complexity to gameplay, challenging even experienced players.

Visually, Spring Break is a treat, with a photographic translite that captures the essence of its aquatic theme. The machine's design effectively conveys the carefree atmosphere of a spring break getaway, inviting players to immerse themselves in the fun. As one of VIFICO S.A.'s Spanish-built licensed copies of a Gottlieb/Premier design (this one based on Premier's 1987 original), it offers collectors and enthusiasts a chance to explore a lesser-known corner of pinball manufacturing history.
