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`
