Machine Description
Released in December 1949, Basketball is an electro-mechanical pinball machine themed around the fast-growing popularity of professional basketball. Designed by Wayne Neyens and illustrated by Roy Parker, the game uses bumpers and rollovers to simulate the movement and scoring of a basketball match.
Typical of Gottlieb’s postwar production, Basketball features detailed hand-drawn art and sturdy mechanical design—hallmarks of the company’s craftsmanship during this formative era of pinball.
