Super Big Top Rifle Gallery

The Super Big Top Rifle Gallery, produced by Genco Manufacturing Company in 1955, is a rifle shooting-gallery game rather than a pinball machine, reflecting Genco's presence in the broader coin-operated amusement market. It was introduced at the 1955 "Parks Show" in Chicago for the National Association of Amusement Parks, Pools, and Beaches, and followed Genco's earlier 1954 'Big Top Rifle Gallery.'

As an electro-mechanical gun game with a circus/carnival theme, the Super Big Top Rifle Gallery would have had players aim and fire at targets to accumulate points, in keeping with the shooting-gallery format common to Genco's rifle games of the era. Specific details about its playfield mechanics, artwork, and designer are not well documented.

As one of the few well-documented mid-1950s Genco gun games, the Super Big Top Rifle Gallery offers an interesting look at the diversity of coin-operated amusements the company produced beyond traditional pinball, including its ties to the amusement park and carnival trade.
