# Triple Action

"Triple Action," released by Genco Manufacturing Co. in January 1948, is a single-player, electro-mechanical pinball machine notable for being Genco's first production game to feature flippers. Designed by Steve Kordek, it is recognized as the first pinball machine to utilize only two flippers positioned at the bottom of the playfield, a configuration that became standard in subsequent pinball designs. The playfield includes two flippers, twelve passive bumpers, and a kick-out hole.
