Sleic

Sleic, formally Creaciones e Investigaciones Electrónicas, S.L., was a Spanish pinball manufacturer founded in 1992 by Santos Aranda and a group of industry veterans. The company was headquartered at Avenida Valdelaparra 3, in the industrial district of Alcobendas, just outside Madrid. Aranda built part of the business on the remains of Petaco, an older Spanish pinball maker that had gone under: he first bought Petaco's molds and manufacturing equipment, then registered the lapsed Petaco trademark itself. Sleic's first pinball machine, Bike Race, shipped in 1992.

Sleic Pin-Ball followed in 1994, and the company closed out its pinball line in 1996 with Doña Elvira 2 and Io Moon; its game software credited programmer Luis Gosálbez Carrasco, who alongside Aranda later represented the company in regulatory filings. Aranda said pinball production was dropped because the machines were too expensive to build at a profit for a market Spain's size. Sleic kept manufacturing other coin-operated equipment — video game cabinets and gambling terminals — into the 2000s; Spain's recreational-machine manufacturer registry lists 2008 as its final year.
