Bingo Pinballs

Don Hooker in many ways was the Farther-of-the-Bingos, clearly the design-pioneer`

The patent history shows that Don rejoined Bally sometime in 76 to work on the slots machines and it looks like they

asked him to spin at least one more bingo idea – The kinetic ball stop shown above filed for in late 1977 – This never

was put into a game, but with it being an 18-Hole game, likely this was associated with the work going on with the

Miss Universe game. Miss U is the only Bally bingo where the rubber ball stop doubled as a feature.

~ Who knows: They might have even been looking at whole other 18-Hole game? ~

Section 4 Para. 5, tidies up the purpose of this springed-ball-return “as being designed with just enough force to

avoid sending the ball back to the top row of holes” – Making the Skill Shots on this bingo truly unique!

It looks like Bally brought Don back for the Slots, but “Hey, while he’s on break…”
