- This is an add-a-ball game made in Italy. The playfield is similar (but not identical) to that of a game made in Spain, Segasa's 1976 'Casino Royale', while the cabinet art does look the same.
Reportedly, this game was made by AMI, a company that would reuse Gottlieb parts and, for the game pictured here, this could explain the Gottlieb box logo on the coin door and the round AMI logo on the coin entrance housing. However, both the backglass and playfield on this game have the box style of logo but with the name of the game appearing inside this box, instead of a manufacturer's name. This method of name-substitution in branding occurred when the manufacturer's supplier sold extra or leftover backglasses and playfields directly to operators and wanted to avoid possible liability. It would appear that the manufacturer who first ordered these Casino Royal backglasses and playfields from the supplier is a user of the box style of logo. Since we know of no Gottlieb game like this one, we wonder if this game was made by an Italian manufacturer like Europlay or Giuliano Lodola, both of whom used the box logo, and perhaps the coin entrance housing and coin door were subsequent operator substitutions.
