~ The Ballyhole ~ The Ballyhole feature, which turned Hole 16 into a function,
first appeared in 1955 on Broadway, which was the first of the Magic Square games. These holes were clearly marked on the playfield
with a titled black banner and appeared on every Magic Squares game except for three: First 1956’s Double-Header because it
was a unique bingo with two-in-one games, Second: 1976’s Bonanza, which was the last of these games, following the others by
nearly a decade, Third: Sun Valley and likely because it had a unique Magic Line F. In Bally’s arsenal of bingos, no where else did
this feature show-up, so your not alone in never seeing one. ~ The Beach Time & Daytona Beach Ballyhole is just cool ~ Daytona Beach “Ballyhole” On Beach Time: “The Ballyhole (16), when Ballyhole panel is
lit, automatically enables all of the Magic Squares on the next game.” ~ ~ Broadway’s Ballyhole was just basic in looks like most of
them, but it’s function was unique ~ Washed out
but rare Broadway “Ballyhole” On Broadway: “Ball in Ballyhole (16), when Ballyhole panel is
lit, lights 1st Extra Ball, giving player extra ball without depositing coins.” ~ ~ Some of the Ballyholes are just cool because of the artwork
around them ~ Big Show

“Nighclub” On the rest of the Magic Square games the Ballyhole function varied
like on Cypress Garden, where when lit on the backglass would give the player Magic Squares
A, B, C, D on their current game and automatically enable Magic Line E when the next game started. _ what, these are
all Bally examples – Hmmm! _ stay tuned _ where did it all start _ hmmm _ ~ |
