Spanish Eyes

Spanish Eyes was a classic electro-mechanical pinball machine manufactured by D. Gottlieb & Co. in 1972, during the company's golden age of pinball production. The machine captured the romantic Spanish theme that was popular in entertainment during the early 1970s, featuring vibrant artwork with Spanish-influenced imagery and a passionate color scheme dominated by reds and yellows.

The gameplay layout was characteristic of early 1970s Gottlieb designs, featuring a traditional fan of drop targets, multiple pop bumpers, and a set of rollover lanes. The machine incorporated the company's well-regarded mechanics and utilized the reliable electro-mechanical technology of the era. The scoring system was straightforward but engaging, with various skill shots and target combinations that rewarded precise shooting.

Spanish Eyes was produced during a significant period in pinball history, just before the industry's transition to solid-state electronics. The machine represented the refined culmination of electro-mechanical engineering, showcasing the precision and reliability that made Gottlieb machines highly sought after by operators. While not one of Gottlieb's highest-production games, Spanish Eyes has maintained a dedicated following among collectors who appreciate its classic EM gameplay and distinctive theme.
