Collins
Skillpins
South
Carolina has a deep history with the Bingos and of all the cities, Greenville
probably has the most
unique
story to tell` …and one we may truly never know in entire, but one definitely
worth chasing`
It
looks like I have posted some 22-pages for these games and here in 2020, I
gathered them all together for you`
The
story begins with Collins Entertainment and Fred Collins getting connected-up
with the Belgium guys and wanting
to
diverse a little bit into Bingo Pinballs`…Collins Skillpins
was created and they started importing older
Green
Diamond, Euro Continental Star, and Montana games into America`
In
there, he also started bringing back older Bally games here to the States.
Bingos modified with dollar-acceptors,
ticket
dispensers, and flippers to help make them legal.
Quite
a collection of games, most all labeled with a nice little logo to help
identify them – Very Cool`
I
looked today here in 2021, and there is not much history out here on the
Internet of this legacy`
Although
said, please note that the IPDB also lists a few machines and Jay Stafford has
given me some clues to chase`
Please
note that Larry has a few of these games in his pinball museum, you can fully
access and play`
