Recreativos Franco

Recreativos Franco is a historic Spanish pinball and arcade manufacturer founded in 1965 that evolved into Grupo R. Franco, a leading developer of coin-operated and electronic gaming equipment and amusement solutions. Active especially in the 1970s and 1980s, the company produced electro-mechanical and early solid-state pinball machines for the domestic market and for export under the Interflip brand, contributing notable machines to the European arcade scene. Collectors and operators value Recreativos Franco machines for their distinctive Spanish design and historical importance in Spain’s pinball legacy, with titles in its catalog including Impacto, Mississippi, Super Star, and Cabaret. For preservation and restoration enthusiasts the brand remains a key reference for research, parts sourcing, and appreciation of Spanish coin-op heritage.
