Bell Coin Matic is an Italian pinball manufacturer founded in the late 1970s in Bologna by Mr. Cavazza that became known for cost‑effective solid‑state conversion kits and creative re‑theming strategies which allowed arcade operators to refresh aging machines with new artwork and playfield elements while reusing existing cabinets and mechanical parts, later trading under the Bell Games name and leaving a lasting mark on the European pinball scene. Notable Bell Coin Matic conversion titles include The King (1978), White Shark (1979) and The Hunter (1980), each released as multi‑player conversion kits adapted from existing hardware and featuring distinctive artwork by Michele Martinelli that helped the company punch above its weight in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Facing industry shifts and economic pressures, Bell Coin Matic reduced pinball production through the mid‑1980s and issued its final pinball effort, U‑Boat 65, in 1988 before focusing on other coin‑operated amusements, leaving a legacy as a resourceful conversion kit manufacturer whose agile, low‑cost approach extended the life of older machines across Europe.
