- description
- RIFLIP, whose fuller corporate style was RIFLIP – Organizzazione Costa, was a coin-op maker in [[location:italy/to/turin]] known in the pinball record for a single [[technology-generation:electromechanical]] table, *[[model:san-marco]]* (1968). It belonged to the first generation of homegrown Italian builders. From the 1960s, Italian law barred pinball machines from awarding any prize, whether a cash [[reward-type:cash-payout]] or a free [[reward-type:replay]].[1] Where most Italian makers of the day answered demand by rebuilding [[manufacturer:gottlieb]], [[manufacturer:williams]] and [[manufacturer:bally]] designs as unlicensed *bootleg* copies, San Marco carried no American original and stands out as a rare wholly-Italian design of the era.
