Back San Marco

Edit History

  1. By Flipcommons Catalog

    Italy's 1960s ban on all pinball payouts (the free replay included) left a legally-sold table amusement-only; the reward type follows from that legal context.

    description
    *San Marco* is the [[technology-generation:electromechanical]] table that [[manufacturer:riflip]] — in full, RIFLIP – Organizzazione Costa of [[location:italy/to/turin]] — brought out in 1968, near the close of the pure electromechanical age. It is a [[reward-type:novelty]] machine, with no reward mechanism of any kind: when it appeared, Italian law barred pinball tables from awarding any prize, whether a [[reward-type:cash-payout]] or a free [[reward-type:replay]].[1] Most Italian tables of the moment were unlicensed rebuilds of American [[manufacturer:gottlieb]], [[manufacturer:williams]] and [[manufacturer:bally]] games. *San Marco* was the rarer thing: it carries no American donor in the catalogue, an original Italian design rather than a copy.
