Bingo Pinballs


If anyone knows anything about Belgium and what Carioca means, that would be fantastic.

 

These folks sure have a very high opinion of this baby :)




Beggars, can't be chooser? Well! I guess that is true since these are the only pics of this pin to ever have floated around.

With a back glass in this bad of condition, how they can still be asking for $1500 is anyone's guess.

Maybe this Bingo is all they claim it to be, which is pretty much tantamount to the perfect gambling machine.

Hell, if I wasn't past the: "No more Bingo machines in this house Mister" limit - I just might have thrown in my own bid :)

 




I have to admit - I like em all lit up and looking pretty. I just love playing my machines late at might in a quite house with the lights out. The sound and ambiance is simply addictive.
 




Not the best photography here either, but it is very interesting to note that they maintain the same pin and hole positions on this Bingo as did Bally and everyone else that copied their layout.

In Don Hooker's taped interview, he says that they spent hours on this area to ensure that some holes where tough and that the odds followed accordingly.

Also note the flipper?

Is there really just one...............

 




I don't know if I am impressed with the dollar feeders.......
