Criterium 75

The Criterium 75 was an electro-mechanical pinball machine manufactured by Recel, the prominent Spanish pinball manufacturer. Released in 1975, it represented the company's efforts to compete with American manufacturers in the global pinball market during the mid-1970s.

The machine's theme appears to be inspired by cycling competitions, specifically criterium racing, which was particularly popular in Europe during this period. This sports-themed approach was characteristic of Recel's strategy to appeal to European audiences with familiar sporting events and cultural references. The '75' in the title likely refers both to the year of manufacture and possibly to design elements involving point scoring or race distances.
