    description
    *Count Down* is a single-player [[technology-generation:electromechanical]] table by [[manufacturer:pasini]] of [[location:italy/bo/bologna]]. The name was a common one in the Italian trade: Novamatic's *[[model:count-down-2]]* (1970) and [[manufacturer:lori]]'s *[[model:count-down-lori]]* were separate machines from other makers rather than versions of Pasini's game. Pasini's own output sits in the early 1970s, anchored by its dated sibling *[[model:old-gold]]* of 1970.[1] The firm belonged to the wave of Bologna makers that emerged after a 1965 Italian law banned pinball as a form of gambling,[2] a shop trade that stayed legal by building tables paying out only in [[reward-type:replay]] free games instead of cash.[3]
