Amigo

Bally's 'Amigo' pinball machine, released in 1974, represents a quintessential example of electro-mechanical pinball design during the medium's golden age. Released during a period when Latin and Western themes were popular in pinball, Amigo featured colorful artwork celebrating Mexican and Southwestern cultural motifs.

The machine showcased classic EM gameplay elements including pop bumpers, drop targets, and rollover lanes typical of the era. As one of Bally's entries in the mid-1970s lineup, it utilized the reliable electro-mechanical architecture that defined pinball before the solid-state revolution. The playfield layout was designed to provide fast-paced action while maintaining approachable gameplay for casual players.
