Super Circus

Super Circus was produced by the Auto-Bell Novelty Company of Chicago, Illinois, and released to the trade in June 1960, per a contemporary announcement in The Cash Box. Despite its electro-mechanical construction, Super Circus is explicitly not a pinball machine -- it is an 'electronic upright,' also known as a 'flasher type' slot machine, that does not pay out cash; wins instead increment a credit meter, allowing continued play.

The game carries a circus/carnival theme and offered operators the choice of 5-cent or 10-cent play. Its cabinet was advertised at 4 feet 9 inches high, 18 1/2 inches wide, and 16 1/2 inches deep -- a relatively compact footprint for the format.

Little further documentation survives about Super Circus's specific internal mechanics, design team, or commercial reception, but it stands as an example of the electronic-upright amusements Auto-Bell Novelty produced during its 1950-1962 run in Chicago's coin-op scene.
