'Super Jumbo' was first production multiple-player EM flipper pinball machine and the first game from this manufacturer to use rotating scoring drums rather than lighted (bulb) scoring. Earlier, a 2-player Gottlieb flipper game was made but apparently not produced, Gottlieb's 1952 'Twin Hockey'. There were earlier multiple-player EM pinball games but they were flipperless. For examples, the 4-player Bally's 1936 'Multiple' had no backbox but all players inserted their coins then each played a single ball onto the same playfield. The 4-player Chicago Coin's 1952 'Derby' tallied each player's score separately on the backbox and had four small playfields, one for each player. The 2-player Stoner's 1936 'Hold 'Em' had one playfield for both players, and players would shoot balls alternately, with their scores tallied separately on the backglass.
