Trinidad

Trinidad was a classic electro-mechanical pinball machine manufactured by D. Gottlieb & Co. in the early 1970s, during a period when Caribbean and tropical themes were particularly popular in pinball design. The machine captured the exotic allure of the Caribbean island of Trinidad, featuring vibrant artwork depicting tropical scenes, palm trees, and island motifs.

The gameplay layout was characteristic of early 1970s Gottlieb machines, likely featuring the company's signature pop bumpers, drop targets, and classic flipper configuration. As an electro-mechanical machine, it operated using relay switches, stepper units, and motor-driven score reels rather than electronic components. The scoring system would have been purely mechanical, with chimes and bells providing audio feedback.

While not one of Gottlieb's most prominent releases, Trinidad represented the company's consistent ability to produce reliable and entertaining pinball machines during the golden age of electro-mechanical pinball. The theme choice reflected the era's fascination with tropical destinations and helped transport players to an exotic locale, a common marketing strategy for pinball manufacturers of the period.
