    ipdb.notes
    This game is the Italian version of Gottlieb's 1965 Flipper Pool. The NOS playfield pictured here shows Model number 230 IT and unusually does not show the game name as is typical for other Gottlieb playfields. A new law in Italy was introduced in June 1965 forbidding replays. The law went into effect September 1965. 'Electra-Pool' is the first Gottlieb model made specifically for Italy. The production run quantity of 1,500 units is per Gottlieb documentation. It was not uncommon for local operators to modify games for 5-digit scoring. Most often, the new digit was a fake "0" but in some cases they added a real counter.
