This page is an Addendum for two machines`…what I refer to as the “Jolly-Jo” Bingos

 

Miss Bonus 2

Moulin Rouge 2

 

Miss Bonus is a theme from Wimi and Moulin Rouge is a theme from GAA from the same Era

GAA likely following suite and semi-copying the Wimi Format`…giving it a very attractive look for Export

 

Essentially the same Bingos`…and later, someone else creates these number “2s”

And I say someone else because the new logo is so unique and so alien to either parent company`

 

Check this out`…this “square box” on the left`…the Jolly-Jo icon with a prominent Joker

 

 

(For reference only, a bit blurry and out-of-focus due to my enlarging the photo to 133%)

 

We don’t have any great images of the Joker, but it is clearly the same logo on both Bingos

…same font, same coloring, same size, same positioning – etc

 

Whomever made these did this with care`…this isn’t some simple street-spin`

The Joker box and number “2s” are part of the silkscreen`…Clean-and-pretty as the rest of the backglass`

 

But I am sure that this work is neither from Wimi nor GAA`…the lower right meter windows are just too different`

Miss Bonus no longer has the Wimi signature and the new window is just a large open box on both games`

…verses the more detailed and suppler artwork we see on the originals`

 

So, who did this and why`…What are the differences`…We may never know`

The feature set on the “2s” is the exact same as the “1s”

 

Whatever is new is subtle`…Maybe different Advancing Odds – Different “faster” Coin-Play

Higher Bonus Awards`…Maybe something “random” is awarded`…Something “wild” to match the Joker idea`

 

_ Some Detail from the IPDB _

 

The best image I have`…from France

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a couple shots of Moulin Rouge that expands the story a bit`

Here we see two different playfields, the Moulin 2 an upgrade to a Miss Bonus

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a second shot of Moulin 2 lit-up helping show these are older Bingos

If these were new machines, completely new games, I’d assume they’d also light-up the Joker and 2s

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a shot of the cabinet on Bonus 2`…that odd paint job I have been chasing for years`

Unique paint theme out of Italy

 

 

 

Yeah, so these are “exports” and that is a specialty of GAA

 

Yes, GAA is tied to one of the machines and we know in the early years they’d clone and take liberty`

 

But I still think someone else made these 2nd-generation number “2s”

 

So, who did`…Who made these #2 Bingos

 

??
