    ipdb.notes
    This game is a conversion of Playmatic's 1978 'Space Gambler' consisting of only a change of backglass. Reportedly, Portugal in the 1970s had strict laws about importing gambling devices and these laws somehow extended to pinball machines such that, in order to work around these laws, Irmacor would import Spanish-made games, modify the game in some way, then claim it was manufactured in Portugal, and then be able to sell them in Portugal. While the backglass and cabinet art show a sports theme, the playfield retains the "Space Gambler" theme with its dice and outer space plastics. The backglass does show a few dice.
