Gottlieb Genie
Gottlieb Genie
Genie is a wide-body pinball machine released in 1979 by Gottlieb.
It features a jinn theme and was advertised with the slogans "Gottlieb's WIDE and Beautiful BODY" and "A Wide-Body Pinball absolutely bulging with player appeal and proven massive profit earning capacity!".
One of the main objectives is to increase the end-of-ball Bonus Value, which can be done by hitting various targets scattered throughout the table. Most drop targets, rollovers, and spot targets increase the Bonus Value by 1,000 points, up to a maximum of 29,000 points. The Bonus Multiplier starts at 1x and can be increased to a maximum of 5x, achieved by hitting one of the four yellow drop targets in the centre of the playfield when the "BONUS LIT" light is on. The maximum bonus is 145,000 points.
When the Bonus Value reaches 20,000, a "SCORE BONUS" hole is lit; slotting the ball in this hole scores a bonus and resets the Bonus Value counter.
Extra balls can be earned by either completing all four A-B-C-D rollovers, hitting all red drop targets in the upper playfield, hitting all white drop targets in the upper playfield. Once the player has completed any of these actions, the corresponding spot target will light up. Hitting a lit spot target rewards the player with an extra ball.
This machine was originally used in commercial environments such as arcades, public houses, and amusements.
When you place your order with us, we will take the machine out of storage and bring it into our workshop, where technicians will fully clean and test all the components to ensure they are in working order as well as making any repairs that may be necessary.
Because of the age of these machines and that fact that they were originally used in commercial environments, it is possible that there may be signs of cosmetic wear and tear. However, we feel that these slight imperfections only add to the patina of this classic machine and helps to tell a story of its past life.
Please understand that some items may take up to 28 days for a full refurbishment.
