Support Our WorkThe Oklahoma pinball machine, released by D. Gottlieb & Co. in 1964, represents a classic example of Americana-themed electro-mechanical pinball design during the golden age of pinball. Released during a period when Western and regional American themes were highly popular in entertainment, the machine captured the spirit of the American frontier and the recently-established state's cultural heritage.
The machine featured traditional electro-mechanical components typical of its era, with mechanical score reels, relay-based logic, and the distinctive sounds of chimes and bells that characterized pinball machines of the 1960s. The playfield likely included standard features of the period such as pop bumpers, kick-out holes, and various targets, though specific gameplay details are limited in historical records.
While not one of Gottlieb's most famous titles, Oklahoma represented the company's commitment to producing regionally-themed machines that would appeal to specific markets while maintaining broad entertainment value. The artwork would have featured iconic Oklahoma imagery, potentially including prairie scenes, oil derricks, and Native American motifs, reflecting the state's rich history and cultural identity.
