I recall reading in Roger Sharpe's Pinball! how their subsidiary Segasa-Sonic was very successful in Spain, where they wanted a much faster pinball table at a steeper incline.
It seems like that affair was bound up with municipal pinball bans made on the premise tables should be turned into bullets for killing Japanese, and police clubs for beating Americans. Though the focus was on slot machines, corruption, and what differentiates a multinational from a crime syndicate.
