_ Mississippi _

Well, these seem to be re-purposed Sirmo Bingos

Older machines given new life with the old-school theme Mississippi

And I say “machines” because there are at least (2) versions of this thing`…stating with this first one here and the black background`

Here are two Mississippi Bingos side-by-side`…in a pub somewhere and that means`

There were a few of these and that they are not a simple knock-off`…someone made these with purpose`

To be placed out on Route and make money`

Now the playfield on this first version, is the Sirmo playfields used on New York and Manhattan

And here is the second version of the game with a light blue background`

Coy writes in here in March 2016 and shares a 3^rd-Verison with us!

The dark background with a playfield from Miss Americana

Gerald (COY)

PS: you may have already noticed that Wimi's Miss Bonus and Sirmo's
Miss Americana shared parts together !
(main door, coin entry)

In fact some people from Sirmo left to work for wimi in the begining of
electronics bingo.

Also, I have heard that even board architecture and software have
"common parts" and might have designed by same team but in different
companies.

A few of the images we see are Bingos in private hands`…not in the pubs`

Here we see a Sirmo-type control pad, no balls in the field but that right card is lit up with e letter “S”

as though this thing in operating an Attraction-Mode – Hmmm!

Now is this 2-Card one of the first Bingos that had attraction-mode`…likely yes`

Is that “S” part of the word Mississippi that played across both cards -or- the “S” in Sirmo

_ Sirmo PCB 28C _

_ Sirmo Score Cards _

Even a bit more odd, I am sure I helped him clear that error`

I simply do not know why I don’t have the emails on record or any detail`

Now even the name Mississippi suggest that this Bingo is from Sirmo

An old-school name tied to the Gulf-of-Mexico`…the Ole South

But I do not think so`…even though a closer look at the light blue version and the name Sirmo S.A. on the backglass`

It is my guess that during that period when employees we leaving Sirmo

That one or more of them, branched out and made an attempt to penetrate the Market

Converted some older games and gave it a go`

We may never know, but this is a great part of the story`…the Bingos
