Pedro dePaca Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yeah it got caught up in a crackdown on gambling games, but then some dude invented the flippers at the bottom and got it classed as a game of skill. are you talking about these japanese pachinko machines? my grandpa used to have one he got in japan while in the navy.

Baron Von Counterculture Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Pinball in the 1930s was a more a game of chance than of skill. The movement of the balls was set by the plunger action at the beginning of the game, and players could only jostle the table to influence its course. The mathematics of the game had been studied by French philosopher Blaise Pascal and by Sir Francis Galton in England, who was a cousin of Charles Darwin and best known as the father of eugenics. These men had charted the probability of the ball reaching certain holes; skill at the game was close to that needed at roulette or dice. In the wild proliferation of Depression-era coin-operated games, some manufacturers made ones that emphasized the gambling aspect, such as mechanical dog races and horse races. This tarred the reputation of pinball. By the end of the 1930s, pinball shared other gambling games' bleak reputation, and many municipalities moved to ban it. Pinball was outlawed in Los Angeles and Chicago, centers of pinball manufacturing, and in New York, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia made opposition to pinball a focal point of his mayoral election campaign. Pinball was outlawed in New York City in 1941, and a mayoral commission declared that pinball could lead youths to a life of crime.(lolwut?) Pinball still flourished, however, in suburban locations, particularly in roadhouses beyond city bounds. The invention of flippers to push the ball on the playing field changed pinball decisively. Flippers were invented by an engineer for Gottlieb Manufacturing, and they were first put into the game Humpty Dumpty in 1947. By pushing buttons on the side of the game table, players could make the finger-like flippers bat the balls in play. Other manufacturers immediately copied Gottlieb, and flippers became standard on all pinball games ever since. Now the game definitely depended on the player's skill, and so pinball was able to disassociate itself from gambling games. A 1956 Federal court case made a definitive ruling that flipper-type pinball games were not gambling games and could not be regulated as such. However, municipalities still made distinctions between different types of pinball games. In some areas, machines that rewarded high-scoring players with a free game were illegal, and in other places, the automatic plungers that shoot the ball onto the playfield were the banned element. Such ordinances began to be repealed in the late 1960s, though it was not until January 1977 that pinball was finally legal again in Chicago. New York had legalized pinball the year before, and Los Angeles in 1972. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
