About This Machine

The Fiesta, manufactured by Playmatic of Barcelona, Spain in June 1976, is an engaging four-player electro-mechanical pinball machine from one of Spain's most prolific pinball makers. Its blend of serial rollovers, slingshots, and standup targets creates an entertaining experience, with a maximum displayed score of 999,990 points per player.

One of the layout's distinctive features is its two parallel lanes of serial rollovers, which reward precision and strategy as players work the ball through them. The full complement of features includes two flippers, two pop bumpers, a mushroom bumper, two slingshots, six standup targets, three rollover buttons, a vari-target, a kick-out hole, and an end-of-ball bonus. The machine's sound comes from three chimes and a knocker, all housed in a single assembly.

The Fiesta's theme, centered around music, dancing, and world places, suits its festive name. A one-player version of the same game was released as Playmatic's 1976 'Fandango', and notably, all hardware in this machine uses the metric standard - a reminder of its Spanish origins for anyone restoring one today.
