About This Machine
The Super Circus Rifle is an electro-mechanical gun game — not a pinball machine — produced by Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company in December 1969, built around a circus/carnival theme.
Play could be set by the operator at 10 cents or 25 cents. The cabinet uses black lighting to enhance its visuals, and a "tent flap" effect opens during play to create a double-depth illusion, adding a sense of dimension to the shooting gallery action.
With its circus setting and lighting tricks, the Super Circus Rifle reflects the playful, carnival-inspired presentation Chicago Coin brought to its gun games during this period, offering a shooting-gallery alternative to the pinball machines the company also produced.
