Support Our WorkWisconsin was an electro-mechanical pinball machine released by Bally Manufacturing in the early 1970s, during a period when regional and state-themed games were popular among pinball manufacturers. This four-player machine celebrated America's Dairyland with artwork and themes reflecting Wisconsin's rich agricultural heritage and natural beauty.
The machine's playfield likely featured typical early 1970s elements including pop bumpers, drop targets, and spinning targets. As with most EM games of this era, the scoring would have been displayed using mechanical reels, and gameplay would have been controlled through relay-based logic systems. The art package presumably highlighted Wisconsin landmarks, dairy farming imagery, and the state's outdoor recreational appeal.
As part of the broader trend of geographical and state-themed pinball machines from this period, Wisconsin represented Bally's strategy of creating regionally appealing games that would perform well in specific markets. While not as widely known as some other Bally titles from this era, it serves as an interesting example of how pinball manufacturers incorporated local themes and pride into their products.
