Machine Description
Released in 1948, Ali-Baba is an electro-mechanical pinball machine built during the era of “woodrail” cabinets. Designed with simple bumpers and rollover features, it reflects the early transition toward faster, more skill-based play. The game’s artwork draws on popular mid-century fascination with exotic themes, a common marketing strategy in postwar pinball.
