Chicago Gaming Vacation America Pinball

[mwong168]

I've never seen or heard of this pinball before but it was made for the home market and retailed for $2999 back in 2004. It was designed by John Trudeau and Steve Kordek but built by Chicago Gaming Co. I see it uses full sized light boards for the GI and inserts like MMR and apparently the first game to use the latch system for the lockdown bar found on the Stern Pro models

Saw one of these for sale on Kijiji a year or two ago I think. Or maybe it was on pinside. Checked it out on IPBD at the time because I hadn't heard of it either. From what I've read, it's one of the absolute worst pinball machines of all time. Haha

I thought it looked alright. I can think of a dozen games that are less exciting then this one. If the price was right Id think about getting one.

I think it looks just fine for the intended market.
